class warfare and wealth redistribution, page-33

"The suggestion that someone who has paid $89,800 in tax might at best get about $1500 back in a rebate for health insurance is some how bludging off the person paying only $5,400 is so utterly preposterous that one wonders how absurdly innumerate Plibersek is to have arrived at this conclusion."

loric,

I wouldn't use that "chartered accountant" from Bolts site cough cough.

Many of the 50K people don't have private health insurance. But the taxes they pay go to giving subsidies to the rich for their private health insurance. If we did not give subsidies, we would not have to collect as much tax.

Pretty simple. You would think a chartered accountant would be able to work it out. I hope he charges a low fee and has the gonads to apologise to Tanya.
