If they worked extra hours they'd burn out quicker anyway.

Why bother? Because you'd get 55 cents out of every dollar you make from that job. You'd prob burn yourself out if you worked that much…

I mean, i'm not sure 180k is rewarding 'extra effort' in the way you believe.

It's all part of the same broader system. It's also very much what the tax system is 'about'. Otherwise there wouldn't be a tax free…

jv has never heard or at least never understood equity and why 'everything should be completely equal no matter what' shouldn't be what our…

It's part of the same system. Where does welfare come from? You can't look at tax in isolation from all the other government + tax systems…

Ok so. What doesn't make sense about 'equity'? We can go through it word by word.

I'd argue that the system isn't penalising you at all. The system is helping those who suffer from inequality so that they're treated more…

I'd argue that the system isn't penalising you at all. The system is helping those who suffer from inequality so that they're treated more…

Tell me what part of it doesn't make sense to you, and i'll then explain to you why it makes sense. Hopefully in a way you are able to…

My statement is obvious. What makes your statement 'more obvious' than mine. If you can't actually explain why your statement is somehow…

Ok not the amount of effort, so simply working for a greater proportion of your time? So you dont wanta people penalised for working longer…

Yes, you keep repeating your stance, but you aren't bothering to actually defend that stance. Why is 'fair' treating people as equals? I…

And I'm sure you understood my point with the centrelink example; that fairness isn't about treating people the same or equally. It's about…

So it's not about what's fair and what isnt fair. So why did you make it about fairness and treating people equally? It's all the same…

You missed a few....

TIL hard work = higher pay

So do you agree with the statement that "centrelink payments aren't fair because not everyone gets them"? And if so, you're also ignoring…

What do you mean by that, though? Do you think it's 'unfair' that some people get centrelink payments - if it isnt everyone getting those…

I'd argue that fairness is equity, rather than equality.

The tax has also already been paid for those 10m in assets. And if you argue 'but whattabout inherited wealth?' - presumably that tax was…

Few issues: - You're assuming people who aren't earning a lot aren't working hard - or at least, tax brackets somehow penalise those…

Why did you buy a 1.4 million dollar house with a small loan, knowing that the interest rates were going to rise one day? You got a 1.2+…

Well technically your mortage rates have gone up to recoup the reduced price that you have the house for. You bought a house when the money…

So is it 9 or 6 off? And if 6 as it says in the fine print, why isn't it 9? What explains the 3 dollar difference? And if it isn't really…

Are videopro a grey import site? I recently bought QC35 from them and it says australian stock? But yeah I must say I was going to get the…

How long does it normally take for them to ship after ordering off ebay?

Yay! The cheap crap is even cheaper now! Woo!
