Australians are getting absolutely bent over at the bowser.
You go to work.
You bust your ass.
You pay income tax on your wages.
Then with what is left, you go to put fuel in your car and get taxed all over again.
How is that normal?
You already paid tax to earn the money.
Then they hit you with fuel excise of around 50 cents per litre.
Then they hit you again with GST on the final pump price.
So at $2 a litre, roughly 68.2 cents of every litre is tax.
That means on a 60 litre fill, about $40.92 is tax.
#Not fuel.
#Tax.
#Let that sink in.
You are taxed when you earn it.
Taxed when you spend it.
Taxed when you try to live.
And they wonder why people feel like they are drowning.
This is exactly why so many hardworking Aussies feel like they can never get in front.
Because every time you move, every time you earn, every time you spend, there is another hand in your pocket.
This country does not have a wage problem only.
It has a government taking too much of your money problem.
Hard earned.
Heavily taxed.
Pumped at every angle.
Most people have no idea how much they are really paying because it is buried in plain sight.
#The scary part is this is just fuel.
This does not even start the conversation about rego, insurance, tolls, power bills, council rates, stamp duty and the hundred other ways they strip everyday Australians.
If this pisses you off, good.
It should.
#Share this and wake a few people up.
Still waiting for the @nrl MRV committee to explain how they think player welfare is important to them...
This is exactly the same as a player being hit after he passes the ball, then relaxes and gets smashed

I hope #NRL@NRL site Latrell Mitchell for this dangerous contact on Connor Tracey over the dead ball line. Ball was dead when he hit him late, could have broken his back.
Fucking dog shot if I’ve ever seen one.
