but a change in government hasn't been for the better since the days of Oliver Cromwell... so it's not new... yup politicians were greedy back in the 17th century too...

The more you earn the more you get back.
So if you're on a low income not on the benefit, without kids you're fucked.

in order to actually acheive this for everyone they would need to drop the income tax brackets far enough to offset the 2.5% increase in GST, therefore negating the use of the rise, and obsoleting any additional funds that may be used for increased benefits.

There actual words were something closer to most people will be better off. Till they actually release details its impossible to know whether you'll be better off, but based on their statements of dropping upper tax brackets (im not really in them), increasing benefits (I can read, write and spell, and know how to use a condom (coupled to a bad case of mutherfucking ugli-itis), thus i dont get any of those) and something about property breaks being decreased (no propertyb anyway) so im quite certain to acheive those goals they will kinda have to shit on me.

did you read beyond the goverment press release???

Indeed I did.

You obviously didnt .

But you are right - we wont know until the full details are released.

Congrats on knowing how to use a condom tho' - admittedly that puts you ahead of a lot of the people moaning about it.

or worked harder. Either way - its not hard to get out of the lower wage bracket. FFS my daughters B/F is on 50k in his 20's - has no formal education - just hard work.

**Mully** · 12th February 2010, 22:28

Shit.

Are they looking at putting GST up?

Fuck, they kept that quiet - I hadn't heard a dicky bird about that.

you are correct i did not read the gov't press release. will have to wait and see what actually goes to pariliment still either way as talk is just that.

But it does seem like a very labour thing to be doing.

and thank you for complimenting my condom education. Plenty of banana's and latex were lost in teaching this monkey.
