@ScepticalAussie@SquageMcGee@RizviAbul Block immigration and we will go broke?? Pretty sure people are just asking for a reduction so that the next generation of Australians can afford a roof over their heads.
Allow me to explain:
$57 billion in NDIS
15,000,000 taxpayers
$3,800 per taxpayer
Average wage $100,250
Median wage $78,000
So NDIS is costing every Australian on average wage 3.8% per year.
NDIS is costing every Australian on median wage 4.87% per year.
Most Australians can't afford their own health insurance or income protection, yet this scheme is forcing it out of their pockets to pay for someone else.
My dad paid taxes for 50 years as a mechanic.
He worked on materials that had asbestos in the 70s and 80s due to horrible decisions and testing allowing this poison material in work places.
He is 68 years old, and his trauma insurance was only until 65 years.
He was diagnosed with cancer and has to pay for everything out of pocket.
My 3.8% tax should be going to my dad, but instead it's going to a fraudulent scheme.
@YanWGao@AvidCommentator@leithvo 66% own their home with and without a mortgage… that % continues to decline. Look back through the data and it shows the next generation continues to pay more and more and it’s getting harder.
Why do I think the government should act in the best interests of the public? 🤦♂️
I usually tweet about finance and business and policy.
And I'm going to share something from another finance guy, @tweetbarefoot.
But it's not about money. And if you don't read anything else I tweet, please read (and share) this.
And hug your kids.

@TMFScottP@tweetbarefoot Wow… tragic story and something I see happening in our youth with my role in education. Feel for Wayne and family but also hats off to the man for his next step. Hopefully the low life scammers read the story as well.
