Its Official: We’re Getting Screwed…..

Bad Ideas – May 15th, 2007 by Don

Hey Dudes and Dudettes, how goes the world. Mine is getting there considering, the fact that, I have just seen in black and white, what I have long considered to be painfully self evident.

Peoples, We are all Getting Screwed in the Fortnightly Pay Packet stakes, by both John Howard and Peter Costello. Oops Hang On, …..almost forgot…CORRECTION: Macquarie Bank Employees and Associated Entities, are Exempted from this post!

Now where was I, ….according to the Professor of Public Economics, at Sydney University, Patricia Apps, all those “Personal Income Tax Cuts” that were handed out between 2005-6, and 2008-09, were nothing but headlines, cheap gimmicks, and a very very sick joke, for the worker bees, in the working class trenches like myself.

The very well learned professor, has opened the books and done the math, so a simpleton like myself, can easily understand it. Professor Apps, has stated that: between 2005-6, and 2008-09, workers, who earned up to $50,000 a year, received from John Howard and Peter Costello, the princely sum of $1572, yes you heard right, $1572.

Okay now you must be wondering, what does one of John Howard’s and Peter Costello’s special people, get in Personal Income Tax Cuts, over the same period, well, according to the good professor’s math, incomes of between $80,000, and $180,000, collected from the public purse, $4712, and $11,712 respectively! NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A TAX CUT!!!

Bring on the class warfare..I say ….and we shall start with the Macquarie Bank CEO…..ALAN…..give me some mullah…..now……..ALAN …NOW…….hahaha

So Peoples, next time you collect your pay packet, You Know, Who’s Really Screwing You! And No Its not Osama Bin Laden.

No this person actually really exists, and he is doing it to you on a Fortnightly basis. I shall leave you today, with a thought to ponder,

And that is…”Now that John Howard, and Peter Costello, have given you a what you perceive to be a Tax Cut, has any of the services that, you use actually IMPROVED? Have the queues in the hospitals, shortened, Are there enough coppers in the street??? Well…Peoples….Tell Me…

DP!
