The kleptocracy wants to steal even more taxes., page-59

Ok sparky, here's how it works.

You earn $1000 a week and out of that the government steals around $300 right off the bat (let's keep the maths simple).

You now have $700
You put $100 worth of petrol in the car but around 50% of that is tax so they have pinched another $50
Then the missus tells you the kids need new clothes and shoes which cost $200, at least 10% of that is tax GST directly and other taxes indirectly) so there's another $20 gone.

Then the missus announces she is pregnant again and you need a bigger house so you buy a modest home for $500K. Housing industry reports have determined that taxation accounts for 35-45% of a new home (depending on where you live) so around 200K of your home is tax. Divide that into your weekly income spread over the life of the loan.

Now just keep doing that for everytime you spend (or save) what's left of your money and you'll soon get to 80% or more. In fact there are hundreds of different taxes for which you get slugged http://taxreview.treasury.gov.au/co...l/publications/papers/report/section_2-03.htm

Oh and just to be clear, just because a tax doesn't have the word 'tax' in it that doesn't mean it isn't a tax. 'Stamp duty' is a tax for e.g. And then the unofficial 'Australia tax' http://www.news.com.au/finance/busi...s/news-story/7c7b892a3bbf86760b32d925db58016a

I could keep going but you should get the point by now, and that point, in case certain people try to derail it again, is that your tax does not stop at your pay slip.

And if you still don't understand my complaint then this might explain it a bit further.
