    Cherry picked examples off a biased cherry picked website. Earth shattering!

    But....if the tables were turned could you imagine what would have been unleashed? I'd rather a few sulking millennials than people who might take Trumps' suggestion to embrace their 2nd amendment rights a bit too literally!

    The 2nd Amendment is a Gov Restriction. Gives no rights to the people because they already have the right. The lesson learned is about the Gov turning against the Citizenry. A balance of power, safeguard against tiranny. So far is working quiet well.

    I cannot wait for them to leave and take the media. They wanted to live to Canada, so be it, let their system take care of those overpaid jackasses. By the way, I hope they do not forget the Kardashains. Obummer said that will leave the US. I do not care, he can go to Saudi or Qatar and pray to Muhammed like he always wanted.

    All I care is for then to shut the hell up and/or leave. They are other starving artist that will take their spots. Is time to roll the sleeves and get to work.


    Cannot resist to post some funny...

    Probably when Trump builds a wall, puts Hilary in jail or sues the 9-10 women who have accused him of sexual assault/harrassment.

    Yea but it's not. That's what is reported, but it is much higher than that. Look into what is regarded as being employed.

    5% unemployment, does not mean 5% on newstart.

    Source: 6333.0 - Characteristics of Employment, Australia, August 2015

    Source: COMPARING UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE CLAIMANT COUNT


    One hour or more, is not employed. IMO

    Fully agreed, if you count underemployment its closer to 15%.

    As to how many underemployed people on Newstart, who knows? As soon as you make about $1000/fn (gross), no more newstart for you. $1000/fn is roughly about 21hr/wk.

    The perfect example of what I HATE about socialism is the very nice people at the ATO now send a breakdown of the amounts of my tax dollars and how they were quite specifically allocated. One third of my taxes went to "social security". ONE ####ING THIRD!!! Literally tens of thousands of dollars I've worked hard to earn went to people the neither earned it, and in many cases, don't deserve it!

    Sheldon

    Does that include the aged/war widows/genuinely disabled/ single mothers following the death of the bread winning spouse etc, or are you just targeting genuine dole bludgers?

    Welfare is spread over a very wide spectrum and a good percentage of it is devoted to the truly deserving.

    Can't really think of a scenario where this statement applies less than it does to what I'm saying about income tax.

    Yes - which is why I didn't say "all". There are cases where social security is necessary and justified. Knowing that within the amount specified is money that just went to ####in bludgers is what pisses me off.

    Oh you poor well-paid male, my heart bleeds for you.

    Of the $158 billion, just 10 billion is Newstart.

    Maybe these folks on $530/fn should just book their next cruise around the greek islands? Life of luxury, eh?

    'Genuinely disabled?' - here are the thresholds used to determine DSP. You need 20 points in any section to qualify.

    Maybe they should better themselves and get a better ####in job! Just like I did! Nothing was handed to me. It was hard work and commitment.

    If you don't like how you are being taxed, maybe consider dodging it or moving somewhere with different income tax laws.

    Good for you. Here is a gold star.

    160,000 jobs a month advertised vs 700,000 people unemployed (possibly an underestimate) = jobs for all.
