evidence-free = brainless? (Harry Heidelberg)

I hesitate to call you a liar, Harr'äh ...

.. but the hesitation is 'quiet' short (haw!)

«What about taxes? We have had REAL reductions under this government. As far as I am concerned tax reform is equal to TAX CUTS. I don't give a f**king damn about the rest of it. I care about what i PAY and under this governmet I pay SIGNIFICANTLY less.»

Since you introduce "don't give a f**king damn," the above quote shows that you know sweet f**k-all about the Liberals and their tax rip-offs.


«The Commonwealth's accounts purport to show that in 2000-01 its taxation receipts fell by 2.2 percentage points of GDP (from 23.5 per cent to 21.3 per cent), In truth, in that year, its taxation receipts (including the GST) rose by 1.6 percentage points, from 23.5 per cent of GDP to 25.1 per cent. Whereas in 1996-97 (the Coalition's first full year in office), Commonwealth tax receipts were 22.8 per cent of GDP, in 2006-07 they are estimated to have been 25.2 per cent (GST inclusive).

When the Treasurer now says that "the Government's medium-term fiscal strategy has a number of supplementary objectives, including not increasing the overall tax burden from 1996-97 levels", what he is in fact promising is not to increase the tax burden as now falsely presented from 1996-97 levels. In reality, Commonwealth taxes are already more than 2 per cent of GDP higher than 1996-97 levels.»


[John Stone The truth about tax]


Someone is lying, and it's not 'just' you, Harr'äh. You *personally* may be paying more or less tax (and who gives a flying f**k), but the gross figures show that the sheople are getting shafted with the wrong end of the tax-pineapple. Your 'side' are liars and thieves, Harr'äh; you going in to bat for them makes *you* a criminal by accessory ( 3 (often foll. by to) person who abets or is privy to an (esp. illegal) act... Hmmm?)
