Income Tax

[Lumpen]

You blokes want to know where a lot of your tax dollars go, then look no further then the C$A bureaucracy.

Also look at:

PPP's (Public Private Partnership's)

Private Health Care

Private School Funding

Private (Government Employed) Job Agencies

Religious Charity Organisations

Plus of course the lack of Tax Dollars actually RECEIVED from:

Large Multinational Companies

MultiMillionaires who secretary pay more tax in a week than they do in a lifetime

Churches

............

Sorry Lumpy, I've had my contrast dial wound full on. It obliterates all shades of grey....I'm a bit confused, how is Private health care welfare?

Lump,

This is class envy politics. Latham played this card and Labor still use it from time to time. This issue only resonates with bludgers, the inner city cafe latte set and the doctor's wives club.

Take Private School Funding. Private citizens are paying for their child's eductaion with their own after tax dollars in many cases >$10,000 pa per child. This effectively pays for >60% of their child's education costs with the rest being picked up the govt.

BUT, pay attention now my friend, the govt contribution to the private school pupil is LESS than if that pupil attended a public school.

Put simply this is a saving to the taxpayer!!!!

Same with Private Health Cover, you pay around $1,000pa per person with after tax dollars with another 30% chipped in by the govt. AGAIN, this is cheaper than the govt picking up the entire bill for everyone's health procedures.

I could go on and on.........

To conclude by getting back to the topic at hand - If we reduce spending by eliminating waste and broadening the tax base with lower tax rates we are on the right track. BCL's proposals are spot on!
