I know lets give a big fat corporate tax cut.....help our foreign investors to recoup greater profit. I mean the least we can do.
A few thousand workers get to pay taxes. Whoppie. I have very serious concerns with your level of argument and how the hell it helps Australia .....

So no problem 7.1 billion dollars can be tax free as they give jobs to a number of workers?


No wonder democracy is under threat. No wonder there is unrest within the ranks.


Such bullshit doesn't cut the mustard any more.
Speak to your local MP if you don't like the ability to offset losses against gains.

Of course if you are successful they will take your ability to do the same away too.

That's fair after all but it won't sit well with the me me me's

So what if Richard Goyda , the CEO of Woolworths gets 100 million $ over ten years, but okay to cut rates of the working poor.....


Strange indeed.
Are you a Woolworths Shareholder? It is a listed company owned by its shareholders. They decide what the management of that company is paid - after all it is their money. If they feel that the CEO is adding value to their company and this justifies him being paid $100m over 10 years, then that's their issue not yours or mine. The politics of envy gets you nowhere Herman

If you want to have a say in what Woolworths pays its people, become a shareholder

If you are talking about Europe, something you fare poorly in every time you raise the matter, you may wish to look into all the government payments and support systems in place compared to Australia.


You know its called looking at the bigger picture....
And look, there's Australia - more successful and wealthier than every European country apart from Norway and Switzerland and on a par with Denmark (Germany doesn't even come close)

If anywhere is in demise it's Western Europe with its failed policies of excessive government intervention, taxation, nanny stateism, socialism and multiculturalism

Its been explained to you time and time again. If you can't put common sense before resentment, and good for the greater masses before your own selfish failings, your problem not mine.

A bit of 'lite' comic relief. What a tired old response to a subject that includes but far exceeds the payment, used as an example, in times of stagnating wages and increasing social disharmony.
I haven't time now but I might just include a fuller response to your constant retort to the politics of greed. About the only retort economic rightards appear capable of uttering in defence of the obscenity.

No matter how many times you are called to order for writing utter nonsense you repeat the same tired old lines. I guess economics is not your subject as much as you want it to be.


A typical response. Ignore the facts and brick wall. meaning don't answer the post just fire back blanks. I'm afraid just because you say the same thing, time after time, it doesn't and will never make it fact.


Common sense fails to get of the leash in most all your posts. Common argument from the rightards of economic policy perhaps, but common sense, no. No problem though, I'll of course help out where I can.

Please. If you don't mind helping that would be great.

What we need you to do is to get off your lazy arse, grab the inititive box, and the motivation stick, and start giving a little bit of effort for your reward. The rest of us are doing it, and having fun at the same time, so its time for you to catch up. More action less complaining is the motto.

Feel free to bring your union rep. We won't listen, but you do pay him to be a part of your life.

No I am not a Woolworths shareholder. Your knowledge of the matter is at best vague. The share holders do not decide on what management of a company is paid. What you refer to Shareholder Governance is obviously ineffective as most people, myself included, don't usually have the time or persistence to wade through the relevant info sent out . Anyway most decisions on pay is made by corporate management to which share holders will likely not agree with the pay structure, but while get a return remain quiet about it. It does not in any sense mean agreement and quite the contrary often, but a usual share holder will have a portfolio of numerous shares hence apathy making the necessary time and informed decision is hardly worthwhile in most instances.


This does in no make infer agreement by shareholders with amount awarded to any individual.
Basic stuff though. Amazed an explanation needed, but as always here to help.

The lazy arses are of course those with a feeling of entitlement and superiority over others when all evidence suggests none at all is due, but what is due is contempt in spades.


You might at one stage care to focus a little less on your own flawed ideology, which is responsible for a decline in life quality in this country, in the process attempt to see a bigger picture, instead of hitting the key board with over defensive statements, with no meaning, besides consisting of a ideological slant, necessary in every post you write.


One thing for certain you certainly won't listen, as such more than likely beyond help.


You would do well to recall all sides have ' a union' to further interests and support their members. Just different names.


Your contempt though for working people is ever obvious.

I've told you before, I believe. You need to change your reading habits and no remain a victim of The Islamophobia Industry. It's called thinking for yourself and not being dictated to by certain trouble makers targeting the vulnerable ......


So do come out with some of the most outrageous statements, but then I recall a post of yours, that claimed only having a bit of fun, and talking shite most the time, on another thread here, so it sort of says it all.


Australia richer than Germany? Yeah right. I think what most people want is not failed neo liberal politics that reward the few, but a life where their children get a sound education, a health service that they can rely on and a well funded retirement.
All the above available in countries you mention but know little about.

You described yourself pretty well there. At least you know your limitations.

Here's a cliche from those of us in the new world. "The age of entitlement is over"

Enjoy.

Neo Liberal politics equate 'common sense' in your book? There is certainly nothing 'common' in your approach and sense doesn't even enter into your ideological make up.


Here to help you on the right path though.......the thinking mans burden....

Enjoy.
The 'age of entitlement' for the tax evaders, parasites, rent seekers of various descriptions, the corrupt, corporates running government, rewarding the rich, tax havens, the slow, ever declining standards in the nation, public life, while perhaps not over, has clearly been seen by an ever growing number of people as unacceptable, intolerable and in need of change.


Of course the rear guard, people as yourself will fight tooth and nail to defend the indefensible, but as they say, the writing in on the wall. It's all over baby blue. A new, fairer, more focused world consisting of real people being the goal.

You mean criminals. That's what tax evaders are. Those who don't do their tax in accordance of the law. You tried to suggest Chevron fell into this category but were severly misinformed about their taxation situation.

Are you referring to living standards? For most they are increasing. For those living in past glories, failing to move with the times, you will find it a rude awakening.

Already defended. Most of us are moving forward. Old dinosaurs like yourself are defending pointlessly hoping union scum will come to your lazy arse rescue.

As I have explained, your age of entitlement is over. No point hanging on to your former welfare life.
