Grossed $18,000 and got slugged $7,000 in tax.

Bloody ridiculous. Outright thievery. I got to keep $11,000.

Compare that to similar or better money available overseas but with a 15% flat tax. And all health care and living costs paid for on top. No comparison.

This country bleeds dry anyone who has a go but shovels money out to bludgers quicker than it can rake it in. There's no incentive to work hard in this country.

Vote Labor and the Greens for even more taxes and cash grabs..........

You get some back at tax time no?

Anyway, countries with a 15% flat tax tend to be places people try to get away from. Try to be a little less selfish.
