At 146 pages.. I'm hesitant.. but what the hell...

This is ju-liar's salvation.. covers all her first principles.. soaks the rich.. gives to the blu er the poor... AND it fixes the budget.. whats not to like..
A few small issues to do with getting the union fees out of the bl.. er workers.. but the flood of cash from the rich would mostly cover that.
I think she needs to make a quick trip to frogland.. just to sort out the finer points of this truly inspirational idea..
Amazing that some judge (shortly to be redundant) could truncate it.. what were they thinking.. it's brilliant.



THE French government's plan to raise taxes on the wealthy is being radically scaled back after a second legal opinion said the proposed marginal rate of 75 per cent was unfair.

France's highest court had already thrown out the 75-per cent rate, and a high-level advisory council agreed.
The Socialist government on Friday said that under the decision, the rate on those with incomes of more than 1 million euros ($1.25 million) could not exceed 60 per cent.

Yep tax the "rich", give to the "poor" and those women whose career is popping out babies. Gillard and Co. Love doing this because they all vote for her and her handouts.

I had someone approach me with a collection box the other day. "We're collecting for the needy," they told me.

I flung out my arms to them. "Well, here I am!"

Seems like gifts to those in need must be filtered through levels of bureaucracy. Same goes for taxes, but more so. Honestly, just how many policy wonks, executives, advisors and staffers do we need?

There are many who won't see a benefit fro the National Disability as it will cut out at 65. If it gets going by 2018 the oldest baby boomers will be 7 years past that use by date.
The baby boomers who are still working full time in 2018 would be the most productive our society has ever had but they will get sweet bugger all from this scheme.

 

[Skyring]

The NDIS may not be perfect, but it's a step in the right direction.

The disability scheme is an excellent thing. Is it up and running yet or is it still in the more of committees?

 

[cove]

Unfunded thought bubbles are all this Government is producing.
If they just said your share of funding this is $x thousand in extra personal tax some taxpayers may not be amused if they are in their sixties.

But if everything was evaluated on the "whats in it for me" basis then little would get done. Some things surely should be looked at in regard to a longer term than just the purely selfish.

 

[cove]

Sorry about being selfish but you have to see these idiots have continued to run deficits that some people called taxpayers have to pay back.
I am ok about my family share being $600,000 but there will be quite a few who don't see it this way.

cove there would be some that say your parents generation set up all this prosperity and that the baby boomers had a easy ride and us guys after the baby boomers now have to work even harder to keep you guys in the comfort you enjoy...

If Australia does not get our Government in order in September everyone will have to pay much higher taxes in the future. It will be your turn soon enough so pay attention to the expenditure side of our Government.

Except they'll be called levy's or some such nonsense. The Labor Govt in SA has gone on a spending spree for the last few years, propped up by the high revenue from the GST and stamp duty on sale of homes, even though the Auditor General warned them that income would not last. Of course the Auditor was right, but the Govt acted like it was one big surprise. Kinda like the Budget Surplus that only Swan, the man in control, thought would happen.
