I'm sick of subsidising the poor qunts who don't want to work and the rich qunts who don't have to work...skully wrote:Speaking of tax, was interested to hear today that the rich of France essentially volunteered to take a 3% tax increase (for those earning over $750,000 per annum.

What about Aus? Or do our rich hide their earnings too well, leaving the middle income earners like me and Zog to keep the country financially propped up?
And cheers for your take on the outcome of Dobell falling, Z.

And here was me thinking the middle classes had never had it so good. You sound ripe for KAP recruitment.

Damn garquen straight, Z. As you've said previously, we are not poor, but we certainly ain't rich, yet we rarely seem to see any real gains from tax changes.Zat wrote:I'm sick of subsidising the poor qunts who don't want to work and the rich qunts who don't have to work...skully wrote:Speaking of tax, was interested to hear today that the rich of France essentially volunteered to take a 3% tax increase (for those earning over $750,000 per annum.

Another gem from Richo
"Every time I hear Julia Gillard, Wayne Swan or any other minister talk about how well the Australian economy is, I wince."
...and...
"Telling voters that this is part of a painful adjustment in the economy (the BlueScope sackings) will not cut it. There is a feeling in the real world that this was just the start of announcements by Australian manufacturers on job cuts. A hell of a lot of people wonder if they will have a job next year."
...and...
"Then of course there is the Craig Thomson effect. This bloke is damaging the Labor brand every day he hangs around the parliament like a bad smell in a lift. Dump him and lose government or cling on to him to maintain the parliamentary numbers and watch the slide in the polls continue. Thomson is the suicide bomber's vest, wrapped tightly around the Prime Minister and the Labor Party. It cannot be defused and at some stage it is destined to explode."
---------------------------------------
Excellent read. Do I hear "LANDSLIDE" emanating from the gloomy pinko cabinet when talking about the next election?
And yet the stoopid Vulture stubbornly maintains "there WILL be a carbon tax under a government lead by me* ".
* Or that's what Bob Brown's hand up her arse is making her say.

Just so I sound balanced. The ALP is gone. There is no way back.
However, there is no point in thinking there will be a change of government soon. The election will be in two years. Like it or not.
And onto Richo. Who takes that man seriously? The guy is poison. You think Latham is poison to the ALP. Richo is more. As they say Richo is a gifted liar and has no legs or credibility to stand on. He is a media darling and the best gift for the Liberals. Fark him off the ALP membership for all I care.

Re: Aus Federal Politics thread (III)
Gillard & Abbott were both in town today. Both gave interviews to local radio. Abbott came out with the predictable rhubarb about the Carbon Tax & the Thomson affair but Gillard took the prize. She spoke for about six minutes. Said absolutely nothing & must have broken the record for the number of politicians weasel words in a short interview.....the local blinkered pinko's would have lapped it up.
Re: Aus Federal Politics thread (III)
The current pinkos take the cake for sookery. Bleating about poor treatment in the press and negative tactics of the Opposition. What farken school of Politics did these qunts go to? It's always how it's been and always will be - the Press bags the Govt, and the Opposition bags the Govt. Clearly they can't stand the heat.
Richo is spot on - they are cringeworthy.

I hope you're proud that the Vulture is being bum-farked by Bob Brown. What a sad, sad predicament we are in when a smarmy lunatic that 99% of the country hates rules the government.
But talk to me in a couple of years (maybe sooner), Q.
Oh and here's some more gold.
"When the parliamentary bells summoned MPs to Question Time at 1.55pm on Thursday, Labor members trudged towards the House of Representatives resigned and demoralised. ''I really hope the sex was good,'' muttered one minister.
...and...
"So it here rests. To maintain government, Gillard must daily trash her credibility by mouthing empty support for her crippled MP. The Labor rank and file and members of affiliated unions have footed his legal bill. The HSU must co-operate with a police investigation that, if successful, will destroy the government. Craig Thomson can now serve the party he has damaged so badly only by fronting up to the humiliation daily.
The biggest losers are the men and women doing hard dirty work for low pay in hospitals and aged care facilities who seem to have paid for the whole ugly farce.
And for the Coalition, Thomson is the gift that keeps on giving."
----------------------------------------
Thomson is symptomatic of the scum that underlies the Labor party, the same scum that left a shovel at the front door of the HSU official Kathy Jackson in a not so subtle hint that she had "buried herself". I dunno how sensible professional people, oh let's say like a couple of highly intellegent banker types who post here, can align themselves with heinous grubs like that.

And like Abbott wouldn't be trou down and bent over his desk (as a wannabe Catholic priest he's at least used to it) for the chance to really screw the country. But as you (or someone else?) mentioned the other day it will be a couple of years.

Nup. He refused to go anywhere near Brandt. Libs don't bend over to the lunatic Greens like the pinkos oh so willingly do.
My biggest fear is that Brown will complete fark this country and the economy before his balance of power can be forever destroyed.

Didn't see this the first time around. Weren't you preening about the rough and tumble of politics on this thread? The best thing about this is maybe they'll go full steam ahead and damn the torpedos.

Must read posts before you angrily fire off lame retorts, Q.
So you condone death threats, do you? I see.
She now has a 24 hour police guard on her home. Nice.

She's already slapped him down on two issues. And I think if you read the constitution his balance of power is safe for at least six years. And how so far has farked the country? Last time I looked the economy was fine, though some major tweaking is necessary but unlikely (Thanks Tony). The only ones bitching are the "we wuz robbed crowd".

Er, did I have a time frame on his demise? I said we won't be safe until the farker has his balance of power removed. I realise it will take a DD to do that. Again Q, you must read posts more carefully before firing your angry torpedos.
So you happily have that goose making the final important decisions on this country's future. I thought you had more brains.

Angry, Moi? A little hungover and not looking forward to the trip to Top Springs on now speed limited territory roads but angry never.
The best thing about 24 hour plolice guards is they can get you booze if you run out when the bottlo closes.
