No need for more taxes. No politician has the guts to do the obvious.

Great fortunes have gone into the accounts of people who frankly do not have the intellectual weight to use it productively. These people have the western world in the grip of a global financial crises which has been the result of their greed and corruption. Taxation is our only road out of this as well as getting people back into secure, stable safe employment. They have talked about education as a cure all for decades, but an educated Bogun is still a Bogan. Juluia Gillard, and Tony Abbott lack the character and intelligence for power and using it with vision and discernment for the good of all and for the future generations...They should be doing menial clerical work in the public service.

It's interesting to note:

(1) The ones who thinks the rich are not paying enough tax are the ones not earning enough to be classified as rich

(2) The ones who thinks the rich are not paying enough taxes probably don't know how much tax the rich pays

Did you know that tax was first introduced to tax the rich only ?

I read that in one of those wealth creation books.

Somehow greed incorporated turned it around to aim it at the poor and the rest is history. Now the poor are trying to reclaim lost ground and again greed incorporated is resisting Sad

WTF? I replied to this an hour ago - wheres my post?

I said something about how only the working poor of the public servants would have their wages cut (road workers and gardeners etc) but the high paid ones up in the offices in newmans building would keep their pay.

It's interesting that the French supreme court has just thrown out the new socialist government's plan for a 75% tax on the wealthy.
You can put taxes up as much as you like but you will only get the upper middle income people, not the wealthy. Maybe that would satisfy the lefties.
The wealthy are always two steps ahead of the tax man.
Does anyone remember Kerry Packer sitting in front of a Senate committee and telling them that anyone who pays more tax than he has to is a mug.

I earn around $800 gross a week and pay $200 tax. I doubt the rich are paying 20% tax on their net income.

you are more ignorant than I expected. Look up the ATO tax scales. that is what they pay which is a great deal more than you do both in dollar terms and in percentage terms.
