If you want better public services, you need to raise tax revenue and spend it efficiently.
But you grow the tax base sustainably by improving productivity – not by taxing productive people.
You get more of what you incentivise and less of what you tax – and the poorest pay the highest price when governments get this wrong.
@ALeighMP Investing on Australian shares helps creating jobs and increasing productivity. Instead of encouraging people to invest, you voted with your Labor party to get rid of the CGT discount yesterday. You are contradicting yourself. We will KICK LABOR OUT
@IndoPacificInst@CipherHashau John Howard had the courage to take the GST to an election campaign and won the election narrowly. @AlboMP is a pathological liar who doesn't have the balls to stand up for what he believes in. KiCK LABOR OUT
@CipherHashau@Ilovedaisy66 Labor need to be kicked to the curb at the next fed election and never ever govern again - may they forever stay in opposition or even better may they cease to exist together with the greens and teals
I post a lot about economics because it genuinely interests me.
I try to break it down in simple terms for those who are genuinely curious.
I try to raise awareness so more people can contribute to the conversation.
But the reality is you don’t need to understand it to know we’re going down the gurgler.
That’s the thing about productivity getting worse, taxes being wasted and inflation eroding your living standards – you feel it every day.
And you have every right to just expect the people you elect to sort it out.
So just keep voting them out until somebody does.
@Husqvarna73@keithmarlowau An unrealised gain is a paper profit which can turn into a loss next financial year. It's not taxable as their is no real monetary value to imposed tax on. If the Labor party and their Treasury officials don't understand unrealised gain, they should RESIGN immediately.
@tobyeggleston Australian people and the Australian economy are doomed now as this Treasury officer is a moron. Unrealised gains are not profits until the assets are sold. We shall get tax deduction if the unrealised gains turn to unrealised losses then. KICK LABOR OUT
@cmkusher@AlboMP is either an ignorant or he keeps telling lies. He thinks Australian people are really stupid and don't know how the share market functions. I have never since a pathological lying PM who doesn't respect Australian people like this arrogant prick. VOTE LABOR OUT
Labor Govt turning Australia into the world’s biggest CGT ‘shithole’.
Scrap the 50% discount, slap on inflation ‘indexation’ + a 30% floor = up to 47%+ effective tax on real gains from property, shares & business.
Highest in the developed world. Crushing investors, killing incentives, and smashing housing supply while they pretend it’s ‘fairness’.
This is economic self-harm by a clueless government that hates success. Wake up Australia. 🇦🇺
Spin, Spin and more spin by the @AlboMP Government. They are Gaslighting all Australians. After the budget they are trying to spread a scare campaign made up of lies. Sign the petition to stop this madness 👇 https://t.co/obcCvaj9hY
@Portenio1950 Don't vote Labor as Labor's high taxes will suck Australian people and Australian businesses dry. Furthermore, Labor doesn't have any ideas how to run the economy apart from raising taxes on productive people and productive assets. KICK LABOR OUT
Australia is becoming a textbook example of what happens when a far left party gets to power: the leftards' dream to tax everyone who makes money until they kill businesses and investment.
