in all seriousness what is fair and equitable, page-8

    what is not fair and equitable is that not all Australians will contribute to the rebuild via a levy. you have these baby factories out there who get welfare payments for her 7 kids to 7 different fathers and she wont contribute. quiet often these welfare payments can total more than the average national wage. then you have the doctor who runs a trust and with the assistance of creative accounting he makes less than $50k - he or she wont contribute.

    then you get the poor guy living in Sydney or Melbourne paying his fair share making $80K and he can't even make ends met because payments to rent/mortage , food, electricity , school fees are so high. and these are the people Gillard and Swan want to slog with a levy.

    there were plenty of ways to find a couple of billion dollars but the governemt took the easy route and then acted almost arrogantly that everybody earning about $50k could afford to pay more tax.

    Disclosure : i have a creative accountant.
