Taxes under the Gillard government were the lowest in decades. They peaked under Liberal governments. Hawke and Keating gave YOU the opportunity to participate in a market economy, yet you prefer to believe in simpleton's (false) dichotomies of capitalism vs socialism.
I may be truculent in my posting, but I also have the economics on my side. (as highlighted by your ignoring my pointing out that Howard's 'zero debt' had nothing to do with prudence (highest spending and taxing govt in history), and everything to do with being hit in the arse by the rainbow of a once in a century mining boom.
