I know what you are saying cabmerlo, the only way I comfort myself is that the tax on smokes (right or wrong) are going back to the tax payers (cough) Mps pay packets.

The house they rent goes back to the landlord and prop manager.

The gardener they pay gives him an income and he pays taxes.

The jobs they don't want, go to people that want it and are happy.
Yes not perfect but if you look at how they still pay it is better than nothing.

I hear you milo100

It is just so excessive,
It is no wonder so many want to come to Australia where you can live comfortably by not doing anything other than fronting up to a social security office.

Remember it is still coming out of our pockets.
