Filename says Elon. It’s not Elon.
It’s the Babylon Bee — a time traveler from 2025 showing up to kill Hitler… and then realizing the checklist overlaps: force people to follow “great ideas,” silence the dangerous ones, “undesirable” groups, segregated spaces with modern excuses, gun control for the wrong people, Margaret Sanger, socialized medicine, vegetarian.
She came to assassinate evil. She leaves complimenting a painting titled “an empire without Jews” — and says it sounds beautiful.
Satire. Ugly on purpose. And that’s why it sticks.
Right?! Those opportunistic hoes (grubby lawyer inc), bastardised the word rape. First week media spun like it was gang rape only to now come out as inappropriate touching LOL! Not excusing the footy player gronks either but if this is true then it should be seen as a breech of contract, not rape!
Look what you came baby with… the classic ‘enlighten me while I smugly wait’ routine (5yrs later 😂)…. You are very very boring now lol, but I’ll entertain it and educate you one last time.
So…. 2026 Budget axed the 50% cgt discount for assets acquired after July 2027, replacing it with an inflation indexed system and a 30% minimum tax floor on real gains. For a successful startup founder planning exits, equity incentives, or reinvestment, that dramatically raises the effective tax on the upside… the very reward for the massive risk, long hours, sacrifices on family, and capital they’ve already put on the line. It’s not hard to comprehend, it increases the cost of attracting talent with equity, makes scaling harder… and signals to entrepreneurs that success will be punished more heavily! Business employing many didn’t magically appear, it was built on precisely the risk taking you seem to resent when it succeeds! We’ll keep building anyway. But pretending these changes are cost free to the risk takers driving growth is either ignorant or deliberately stupid.
You simply comment to antagonise people, I’m done with your dumb ass… you’re boring. 😴
Mate the muppetry here is claiming business owners won’t cop up to 47% on the sale of their life’s work under the new rules. Let’s cut the 💩! Ok so from 1 July next year the 50% cgt discount is gone, replaced by inflation indexation only. For the typical founder who bootstraps a business with basically zero cost base, builds it over years, and sells for a big real gain? That indexed gain gets taxed at your full marginal rate of 45% + 2% Medicare = 47%!! Sure the small business concessions (15yr exemption, 50% active asset reduction, $500k retirement cap) are “retained”… if you tick every box, wait 15 years, retire at 55+, and don’t exceed the lifetime limits. Most don’t. For everyone else especially anyone whose growth outpaces inflation or who sells through a company/trust and faces top up tax on franked dividends it’s closer to the full 47% hit on the real profit than the old 23.5% effective rate!
That’s not “disinformation,” Ash. That’s maths! You can dress it up with pretty slides about loss carry backs and VC incentives all you like, but telling entrepreneurs the government isn’t about to become their 47% silent partner is peak gaslighting.
Business owners built Australia. Now Labor’s turning the sale of their blood, sweat and zero cost base equity into a government windfall. Classic 🙄
@stoneoreye Yup I believe this! The worst females are the ones who complain about men, then two minutes later post on social media where she’s at for dinner… minus any man in pic, but we all know she’ll be out on a free fancy date lol!
