Fuck the so-called rich
Posted by clubwah on May 14, 2008
Why is there more discussion and even angst over families earning more than $150,000 missing out on the baby bonus than there is about carers missing out on decent weekly payments again?
And how many people pissed off at the apparent “Robin Hood” Budget actually earn less than the numbers, and refuse to deny that like most of us they are working class scum?
The fact is while the government will save billions the well-off people these Budget measures will affect will be relatively minimal.
I love how some people on larger incomes in the dreaded comments section of the Herald Sun are complaining that their incomes of $180,000 barely pay for the mortgage and household expenses. What they don’t tell you is how big their mortgage is – I’m sorry but if you borrow $600,000 when you could have borrowed $450,000 that’s not the government’s problem.
And (sorry for all the questions) how many of the Rudd haters crying foul at cuts in benefits for the well off, the first to whinge about THEIR tax payer dollars paying for mythical compensation to Aborigines and foreign aid?
Finally no one is a calling people who earn $150,000 rich – apart from sub editors who have limited space for headlines. But you can’t deny that you’re beyond a point where the government should be giving hand outs. Unfortunately the ill-directed tax bribes that the Howard Government turned into the very people who espouse capitalism and decry the welfare state, into welfare whores themselves.
I say fuck ‘em!

For all the Liberals’ talk about personal responsibility Doc Nelson is not too keen to suggest that working families should have a little themselves.

He’s all over the fuckin place – on one hand there is no inflation problem but this budget will do nothing to fix inflation (which doesn’t exist). The he says it’s too big spending while complaining about cuts to middle class welfare.

Won’t someone think of the stables!!

Spot on, Wah. Whatever happened to that idea of living within one’s means? f you make that kind of money and still whinge then you need to take a look at the world and your place within it and wake the fuck up. Get some perspective, for fuck’s sake.

Sorry, Wah. That “f” belongs to an absent “I”, as in “If”.

Exactly Wah. And those fucking whingers quibbling about having to pay an extra couple grand for cars over $75,000. If they’ve got the money in the first place to buy butt-ugly cars, they surely have an extra grand or two for the tax rise.
I refuse to remove my obstinance on this issue.

It’s $57,000.
Bron said
It is? Are you SURE???

Fuck you’re right.
Damn you Surname!!!
I’m dyslexic. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

So $150,000 is the magic number for the government to say you no longer need assistance. What’s the magic number for, you don’t have enough to raise children – don’t fucken breed?
