Do those that are on $150,000, the top 10 per cent of income earners, not have enough to provide?. Sad

Mate in Melbourne we had

Mortgage of $4,200 per month
Two cars costing $500 per month to run
Utilities of $750 per quarter all up
Groceries etc of $800 per month
Phone bills of $200 per month

The net income after tax of ones earner was only $11,000 per month.

Doesn't leave very much when flights to England cost $10,000 for us all.

There isn't much left.

buy a smaller house, use one car, throw away your mobile.

Well Andrei. May god help you, if you ever become unemployed.

Be all the pensioner you can be!

a. take every hit the dumb clowns running the economy can give you for fifty years

b. Take every hit in every goddamned social revolution imposed on us over fifty years

c. Do every hard yard in life and end up treated like a leftover in your own country

d. retire on a pittance and watch every entitlement princess get everything you never had free of charge

So - er - how does the pensioner lady on $19,000 get by? About three months mortgages for Andrei's mate... couldn't run the cars at all... no trip to London to see the Queen...

Gotta love the value system by which we live......

Reminds:- 40% of the Australian workforce - not including pensioners and unemployed - have unstable incomes and thus no solid future..... Cheesy

Scary isn't it? This forum continues to amaze me. If it is not poor people like warrigal who refuses to work and expects the government to look after him, it is a well off person like Hicks who thinks the government should reward him for his success. What the hell happened to working for a wage and then living within it?

The funny thing is, most of them probably live happier and more rewarding lives then someone who can't get by on 3 smacking thousand dollars a week.

The higher your income - the higher your expenses. Those on good incomes have higher mortgages, more expensive cars and like eating out at nice restaurants. No tuna on toast for them. Their clothes are better quality, therefore cost more and they have to pay for a private school for their children. A wealthy person's lifestyle is expensive to maintain therefore the PPL needs to provide for the Rolls Royce of baby products.

The top THREE PERCENT, i think

Mandating Maternity leave provisions makes employers baulk at hiring women ...

And Tony Abbott is quite aware of that.

As is the ALP ?

Indeed.

However, the ALP are doing it in the tradition of the welfare state.

Abbott is doing it in the tradition of conservative misogyny, wanting to keep women out of the workforce. If you believe anything else, you are even more gullible than everyone says you are.

That's right, Gregerypeccary. Only Labor and the Greens give people money in good faith. The conservatives are evil in whatever they do. Only we progressives are smart enough to see this.

Quantum

This issue has been going on for decades in SW Sydney where they have an intergenerational welfare dependency problem where parents seem to teach their offspring how to rort the system. Its also a high area for teenage pregnancy ...... no care or deliberate, given the education levels on such and easy availability of contraceptives there is no excuse for such.

This disease seems to be spreading as you can see from many of the posters here that many more now has a air of self entitlement about them.

I remember a documentary where they had a family on welfare making around 60k on a current affairs show and they compared it to another family where the mother and father were working earning the same.

The arrogance of the welfare recipients was obnoxious, when they talked to the working parents the mother said she was actually aware she could do the same but felt setting a good example to her kids was more important.

My mother refers to it as the protestant working class upbringing, going on welfare was just never an option.

The Thinking Mans Grappler

Both my parents has passed away and they did not live off the state and had a fair bit left to passed on.

My wife' mother is still around and is a self funded retiree that is sitting in a big house worth over a million and is a very cashed up. She doesn't feel the need to hit up the government for more. She is also very frugal to the point where we have to tell her to spend her money .... go out and enjoy it.

Given we have compulsory super, many retiring now will get very little to nothing from the government other than desperate grabs on their retirement savings which to me should be free of all taxes.
