"I have no problems going into a centrelink office and getting anything that the government deems I am eligible for"

funny how some of the bulls are now embracing the benefits of 'socialism'. After berating forum members for their lazy socialist tendencies - not working hard enough - consuming too much, not scrimping and saving in order to get a foothold on their grand capitalist property ladder (how ridiculous that term is- how many people talk about the need to get on the 'car ladder' or the 'clothing ladder' or the 'food ladder', or all the other necessities of living and working?)

Sure you may be eligible for welfare handouts, but if you have not been contibuting your fair share because you've been taking advantage of an inequitable tax dodge that enables you to enrich yourself at the the expense of other taxpayers, and you still feel entitled to claim welfare, then you are neither capitalist nor socialist. Just unscrupulous.
