All the Lefty voters should live in one place and have their own country.
Truebelieverland.
Let's see.....in 5 minutes Truebelieverland would be broke. Executed their PM. There'd be no businesses or industry. They'd be overrun with illegal entrants. Unemployment would be 100% but they'd be collectively happy because everyone was equally miserable.....

They'd soon be in their leaky boats to get to Coalition-land. But alas, the Coalitionlanders have protected their borders very well and they couldn't sneak in. The Coalitionlanders have lots of cash though because they no longer had any freeloaders to hand out funds to and so the Coalitionlanders want for nothing. A flat rate of income tax and
a 25% GST pays for everything the tiny public service requires and the toughest best equipped defence force and with their arsenal of nuclear weapons and efficient domestic industries no schitbox countries dare mess with them so they live happily ever after
The end
what a beautiful piece of literature!
write a story, I mean it! except for the 25%
Non-fiction..........sad but true..........but what 25%
Well you did write 25% GST, which seems a bit high, since the welfare costs will go way down.
Based on Finland where they have a 24% GST and a very efficient public health and education sector.
The Fins also have relatively low marginal tax rates (30% is the highest bracket) and a low company tax rate (24.5%)
Now a Truebeliever would argue that a 24% GST is unfair on the poor but the opposite is true.
Why? Because the GST funds the public services and social security that the poor rely upon.
Finland is an established old country. They have one purpose, one culture, one nation.
Australia is young and still very messy nation, it's a zoo, no-one have the desire to pay for no-one, at least not now.
Maybe, when it will all be Austrasian, or Austrindian, or hopefully Australian, maybe you could then impose ridiculous tax rate impossible for anyone to pay rent, and have everyone working for the benefit of the bored unemployed bashing and king hitting, or drug addict, or radical fanatic with 10 troubled kids, and 4 unemployed women in each household, or some cultural fkwit who doens't recognise you as a human because your are white, or anglo, or christian, or whatever it may be that doesn't suit whatever 'minority' with sad past, sad present, and sad future, although, continue eating and living on these taxes you are actually working on...
At the moment, I personally don't see why I should be paying so much, I just don't see who is going to benefit, certainly not me.
What you will experience, is most small business will stop existence, and you will be relying on the trash that is left.
