@RobToThheOz@DarrenAdams1967@grok You talk about investing like everyone’s super isn’t tied up in some kind of investment whether we like it or not.
And like the govt hasn’t rigged the deck so that property investors almost can’t lose while small business owners battle to survive. Risk/reward is theoretical.
@RobToThheOz@DarrenAdams1967 If the govt paid every nurse $1 million but taxed them at 91% it would have zero impact on the national debt compared to paying them $120k and taxing 25%.
They get all their money from the taxes of others so they’re not net contributors.
Every public employee is a net recipient
@dehiggs5@QuentinDempster If he had any sense of honour he would have called an election over it and included a double dissolution trigger somewhere to ensure that he had a mandate as Howard did when he changed his mind about the necessity of a GST.
@CraigSarg73 Albo hasn’t held a private sector job for over 40 years but is a multimillionaire with a property portfolio he supports with road infrastructure spending funded by taxpayers.
That’s how it is with you lefties.
You say you hate the rich but you protect those in your own ranks.
@calbro84@___TheGOOdWitch The pro-abortionists won’t admit it but when they argue that these kids should never have been born they are admitting they would be perfectly comfortable morally with killing them all today to solve the “problem”.
That’s the clear implication. Ghoulish barbarians.
@missrobinson You’re pretty comfortable with labelling millions of people in a way that makes them easy for you to dismiss.
You must be one of those incredibly intolerant progressives.
@RobToThheOz@DarrenAdams1967 Also, nurses don’t really pay tax.
All their income is derived from the taxes others pay.
If nurses were net contributors they’d be able to pay their own wages from the taxes they contribute plus cover their per capita share of everything else like defence and NDIS etc.
So no.
@RobToThheOz@DarrenAdams1967 All investments are not equal.
Investing in financial instruments for speculative gains is very different to building a factory or buying a workshop and running a business that employs people.
Property should not be so advantaged that it diverts business investment away.
@RobToThheOz@urbnjrgntrbn Mostly if you’re investing through a company.
The extent to which particular things are deductible outside of normal business practices is another illustration of the futility of some of the system.
They make a tax but it has detrimental impacts so they mitigate them slightly.
@RobToThheOz@Velvet_Forge Instead of being spoon fed an impression from another source, do some basic research for yourself.
We had our 28 millionth resident last week and they pretended it was a baby, not a migrant.
Regardless, 64% participation rate.
Median income is under $60k.
Who’s really paying?
@sue_thurley@JaneCaro Yeah, you’re not nice at all.
In fact, if you claim to be nice but behave abusively towards citizens on the internet who have politely disagreed with you, then you are a liar.
Keep hating, nasty old woman.
@JaneCaro It’s strange how little we hear about the women being killed by men when there is a left wing govt even though the stats are no different.
Almost like the media chooses which stories to run based on a broadly lefty bias.
And the activists pipe down when they’re paid off…
@urbnjrgntrbn@RobToThheOz Inflation is effectively a tax on capital.
Stamp duty is a tax on the capital if it’s a property investment.
Any professional services incurred to manage the investments/accounting are all subject to GST which re-taxes the capital because they’re payable regardless of outcome.
@Velvet_Forge@RobToThheOz The Federal Government alone is spending about $800,000,000,000 this coming year.
That’s over $42,000 for every person with a job, >25% of whom are employed by govt at some level and are therefore not net contributors.
It’s a bleak picture for the couple of million who are.
@RobToThheOz But doesn’t the discount only apply to the gain?
So the devaluation of the capital continues unabated and the value of $1 halves every 20-odd years.
So the govt will be taking a sizeable portion of the real gains.
Meanwhile different assets will benefit differently from policy
@sue_thurley@JaneCaro A nicer person wouldn’t say that.
You must be deluded as to your true nature.
But I’m sure your owners will affirm you.
It’s crazy how people who openly admit to their mental illness still presume to tell others what to think.
Why value the opinion of 2 dogs’ slave? Crazy.
@LeeBeeWassup@Prowerock1@JaneCaro Are you kidding?
Feminists have frequent and extensive opinions about that topic.
Some of you have proposed that all men be sterilised via vasectomies and the procedure only be reversed in limited cases where the man is deemed worthy of being allowed to reproduce.
Try again.
