lol we nearly agreed for a minute there, because I left out a very big **NOT**. whoops. Well we do agree that consumption + income taxation…

> it's the same thing consumption tax and income tax are not nearly the same thing. The only correct thing to take from that is that there…

What kind of anarchy would we live in if we didn't trust in laws. Your analogy only works to the extent that everyday Australians are…

>send half a million dollars to the other side of the world in 10 minutes Do you call that a day to day transaction? Yes, for those that it…

I'm glad I live in Australia. If you made the rules, I'd have to hire an electrician to verify that a house is safe before I moved in (in…

The benefits of consumption tax (when you do it right and scrap income tax at the same time) include not demotivating people from building…

sheesh you just made me realise how much time I've spent reading this thread. $17 is nothing compared to the GDP loss this post has caused.

That's a good point. If it were realistically an issue, they'd prob need to introduce reciprocal tax agangements (like you say, the tax…

lol are you OPs alter ego or just suffer from same dillusion?

Yeah like I said, I disagree. The poor pay 10% of stuff all, the wealthy pay 10% of millions. The poor are still benefiting from the…

How can you expect people of different standings to have the same opportunities? There are many things that the wealthy can do that the…

The only way I'd enjoy that is if I was an exporter. But whatever, time will tell. I haven't purchased flights yet, if it happens, it…

I don't think that counters that a consumption tax is the fair way of taxation. The wealthy do consumne more and therefore pay more. What…

What does rich even mean? You're considered rich by those closer to poverty, but you see rich as having yachts or whatever. IMO a salary…

So what's the figure? What salary would it take for you to consider yourself in a different wealth class to somebody on say $70,000. I…

>A better path would be to increase GST I agree with this though. If you're broke, you don't buy much and don't pay much GST. The wealthy…

lol

You addressed why fines (in thier current form) don't work, but you didn't address why demerit and deprivation of liberty is insufficient…

Sounds like you haven't been around long enough to see what happens when prices are pushed beyond intrinsic value

Oh wait do replies count for $10? I'd better put my own comment in too.

I voted for RFDS too, though would have nominated Care Flight - there are a few charities doing great work in remote care.

Sorry you caught me - I clearly didn't read all of your post. I think your problem is very different from OPs.

Have you done your figures properly? IMO the tax advantages of super far outweigh the risk of having restrictions on accessing it. Unless…

Retirement isn't a great option for many people, and can be the start of a slow or not-so-slow death. Most people need a purpose in life,…
