"but the other side of this coin is they are also perceived as the 'spending party'.. that's right, spending on you the Australian citizen !"
The problem is they have to steal from someone productive to give it to someone unproductive or waste on some pie in the sky scheme. When the govt is stealing 47c out of every $1 a person makes it is really hardly worth the effort of working, let alone taking risks to make money, it is beyond a joke.
It is time for proper tax reform AND spending reform in this country, the way it is I'm seriously considering packing up and going somewhere that respects my right to make money and keep a fair portion of it. I don't mind paying my fair share but having almost half taken is not in any way fair and even worse when you see bludgers refusing to work because the govt gives them too much of my money
