Fuck the so-called rich

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!
