No, taxing wealth and assets isn’t the answer. People shouldn’t be punished simply for being successful and owning things.

Your last point is - making corporations actually pay taxes. No more Apple Australia buying iPhones from Apple Scotland for the exact same price they sell them to customers for, meaning no profit in Australia, for example. No more mining giants paying nothing to literally sell the ground out from under us.

Income tax should be abolished, and instead make it spending/usage based. Spend more pay more.

The only thing I agree with “taxing the rich” for is fines - they should be percentage based. $1000 for your passenger having their seatbelt slightly off hurts someone earning $60k a lot more than it hurts someone earning $600k.

That logic is bad because while yes, it’s taxed at a lower rate, you can’t access it until you turn 67!!! If you access it before then you get slugged with a huge tax on it.

It’s like when I see people telling others who are struggling to put food on the table or petrol in the car to make sure they contribute to their own super to the max every year - it’s a stupid idea, yet many of the people who say things like that also think like you do in your post, which makes no sense.

Successful people are already punished enough by the tax man for being good at what they do. Finding more ways to fuck them over isn’t going to end well for our country and economy, as eventually they’ll all up and leave, taking 50% of the countries income tax with them.

Fuck ‘em - they need to be taxed more

You say this about the people that pay the majority of all income taxes already lol. When did this commie “successful people should be penalised more and more for being successful!” ideology become so popular in Australia?

No amount of extra tax from the wealthy is going to result in reduced taxes for everyone else. The wealthy and the high earners already pay almost all of the tax. All it’s going to do is end up in more government waste and corruption.

Also……why do they need to be taxed more? Are they using more government services than everyone else? Do they get special roads that only they get to drive on?

Yeh they should stay here so we can throw them in jail if they dare say anything that anyone could say they take offence too. Such a free country we have.

So those earning less than $45k will get taxed less on their super that they can access when they turn 65. In terms of tax reform to help people in need, this does exactly fuck all.

I’ve never understood the point of hosting your own single user instance - can anyone explain?

Where did I mention crime?

The housing crisis is caused by supply and demand. Importing over 1000 people a day while building no houses will do that.

You’re the one who is being duped by the looks of it, eating up all their excuses for why supply and demand isn’t the issue.

Billionaires are not the problem.

They wanted to tax unrealised gains, and their plans weren’t indexed so every year the lower classes would get closer and closer to being affected. Thank god it didn’t go through. Taxing unrealised gains is one of the dumbest things anyone has ever suggested.

It helps men not be branded as and treated like rapists based solely on an unproven accusation.

Example:

if the purpose was to allow companies to collect people’s ID information

That wasn’t the purpose. The purpose was to condition people to requiring verification to use things. That way when the inevitable digital ID comes along, people will already be used to having to authenticate themselves to access websites and services, so there won’t be as much pushback.

Parents should be in charge of monitoring/limiting their kids access to social media, not the government. That’s kinda a parents job - raising your children. It’s not the governments job.
