"Take a retiree with the maximum $1.6 million. On a yield of 5 per cent, that should deliver an annual income of $80,000. The tax bill? Zip.
Compare that to a 35 year old earning $80,000. Tax bill? $19,000. It's a fair bet he or she is struggling to make ends meet, particularly if they live in Sydney or Melbourne, in which case they are paying a fortune in rent or have a whopping great mortgage."
