    this is a ridiculous *** argument .... you need to demonstrate that negative gearing is a net positive for society (not just those that benefit by increasing their private wealth at a public cost) .... you can't just throw up some economics related graphs and say, "SEE !? the lines go up! UP I say! ... and the one that's supposed to be flat ... IS FLAT! " ..... therefore! negative gearing is fine.


    in what way are those fantastic graphs of yours a direct result of negative gearing?

    I mean, let me break down what I think you're saying....

    1/ We currently have negative gearing
    2/ These general graphs about the broader Australian economy are bloody good looking

    THEREFORE!

    3/ negative gearing is producing these fantastic looking graphs

    THEREFORE

    4/ If we abolish negative gearing the graphs will turn ugly

    THEREFORE

    5/ we must keep negative gearing


    as I said ....

    straw
    man

    What possible connection is there between those graphs and negative gearing?
