Maybe a 457 visa tax of 90% will cover the unemployment benefits...
Or an application fee of $20,000 - not refundable - to cover the cost of a year's dole payments plus all the support services.
There's a thought.. or we could put jobs on the world market properly and charge going rate....... I mean - how many 'capitalists' here are telling us daily that jobs are just another commodity?
In that case we should all be entitled to put our potential job on the market and get a fair price for it... or our government should list them like our dollar on the money market and ensure a fair price......
Trading in jobs for real... the capitalist's dream...
OH - and don't forget to include all the things 'deemed' to accrue to the social security beneficiary. In calculating our 'worth' on the unemployment/pension market etc - the government takes into account our free legal aid and all... PBS.. lots of things that we allegedly don't pay for.
$20,000 is just the gratuity....
I absolutely bask in the free legal aid I get and even though I never need it.... it still cuts out a percentage of my pension...
Let's make it... oooh.. $40k.
