Well Shallowthought, <snip>

I posted the news items old chap, not Shallowthought. And could you engage a forward gear please? You appear to be in reverse and have responded all backwards like.

For example tax cuts can't provide more money for the Liebor Trough - they are cuts, not increases.

Get back to me would you.

Oh, I know. I've just decided to call you Shallowthought since Deepthought is a decidedly innapropriate name for you, judging by the thoughtlessness of most of your posts.

As for the tax situation... *sigh*... I suppose I'm probably expecting too much when I think you'll understand my point. I'll try and put it simply.

Tax = money taken by government to spend on education, health etc.

Tax Cut = money that is not taken by government for health or education and is instead left to the tax-payers, so that they can spend it on whatever they like. In this case, Labor is talking about requiring people to spend the money that would have otherwise gone to tax on their kids education ie a laptop.

Huh? I'm afraid I must be shallowthought then because I have no idea what you're talking about. The tax cuts have nothing to do with requiring people to do anything at all - let alone buy a laptop.

Maybe you can help me with some deepthought as you think I am pretty thoughtless. Please give me your opinion on the tax cuts and whether you think the Liebor Government should be cutting the amount of money they receive, given the difficulty Liebor is having with handling the economy.
