The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume the leadership.
This is George Orwel from Animal Farm. It’s as if he could fortell the future of Australian politics and the role of the Australian Greens.
And so it has been announced that:
The Greens will take an annual 10% tax on billionaires to the next election, which they say will fund major boosts to healthcare.
Of course this won’t raise the revenue the Greens need to destroy this country. So to make sure there is no capital flight, this policy will of course be accompanies with:
with a 10% limit on capital flight in any year.
So let’s just assume, as the Greens apparently do, that billionares are stupid and will happily comply with this tax. So in 2-3 years it takes billionares to no longer be billionares under this regime, what will happen?
The Greens will of course lower the threshold and keep lowering it until there is no weath and prosperity and Australia becomes the North Korean nirvana with Kim Jong Bandt in charge.
The Greens say it is expected to raise $23 billion over the forward estimates
That is an average of $6 billion a year. Now remember that the Commonwealth spends ver $700 billion a year so we are talking an additional 1% of revenue with probably $15 billion of spending.
The minor party, which could hold the balance of power, claims the plan would fund a suite of previously announced election policies — including free trips to the GP, universal 50 cent public transport, and getting dental into Medicare.
I know Australia has compulsory voting and compulsory preferencing at elections. I think there needs to be compulsory competency assesments done because anyone who is sufficiently STOOPID enough to vote for the greens needs to be institutionalised.
How are they going to do it? They already have a whole army at the tax office and billionaires pay no tax now. Small Business on the other hand gets $1500 fines if they are one day late sending back their BAS form.
