I know of a young chap that fucked himself up royally on a bike recently to the point of near death, with years of rehabilitation ahead of him & probably the prospect of being a sickness beneficiary for the rest of his life.
His bike had no rego (& therefore no acc levy paid) because apparently " he doesn't believe in that sort of thing"
He seems to believe in all the free healthcare & benefit he is receiving that I'm helping to fund however.
So yeah, there's an example of someone that doesn't appreciate how their taxes (if they actually paid any) are being spent"
Meh. A targeted tax not paid might reasonably amount to the related benefit not being made available, no?
Fair enough, bring it on, make every tax targeted, and every benefit dependent on payment of the related tax.
Which was the point I was making, the bottom half of all taxpayers don't contribute enough to cover their benefits. And fuckwits bitch about the evel business owner's tax avoidance depriving them of their rightful alms.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
