Personally, paying tax is every citizen's duty. However, seeing our hard earned money being wasted by irresponsible government is a serious pain. If this government can help build a stronger Australian economy and make Australia the most powerful country, I am willing to pay more tax. Seeing our friends could lost their jobs because of this new mining tax, I wonder if this really do well for the economy as a whole. I think Rudd government should study another senario, what is our country's balance sheet if mining segment disappear in 3 years time. Without mining company earning foreign currency, are we still better off?
