govt rejects increase to gst, page-7

mak

you earn $100,000 and buy something that costs $500 +10% GST = $550

that additional $50 is 0.0005% of your income

If someone on $10,000 buys the same item it is 0.005% of their income

It is thus hitting them ten times harder than it is hitting you - or put another way, they can afford it 10 times lees than you can

If that item is detal care, you will get your teeth fixed, they won't

that's why it is grossy unfair and typical of a right wing government's idea of a fair tax
