7/ older people. Make that payment to the older people tax free – not effecting their pension, like Sweden. It's working well there – it's normal, I'm assured, in China, in most of the European countries, in Africa. What's not normal is handing your children over to strangers.

8/ (e) why tax welfare or pensions? We give with one hand and take away with the other. It's just stupid.
Anyway, in case any politicians are watching the thoughts of an economist who used to teach tax and hates recessive taxation (taxation of the poor).

6/ granduncles and you want children to be close to their relatives, because they're the ones who will want to take care of them in their old age. Encourage family togetherness where possible – I know it's not always possible, but an incentive to assist it could help a lot of

4/ If you aren't taxing necessities under the CGT, eg nappies, baby formula, medicines, fresh unprocessed food including dairy, eggs, meat, vegetables and the things that are already exempted, then that's not recessive, it is giving an incentive to eat healthier.

5/ Swedish policy on child care which would give eg grandparents/aunties, uncles and grandaunties and granduncles the same payment as childcare payments to strangers, you will end up with a more cohesive society. I was raised by grandparents then my uncle and grandaunties and

So #OneNation just made a sensible economic policy. They are looking at lowering the excise on tobacco instead of raising it to increase compliance because when Labor tried to extinguish smoking by raising excise they got hit by the Laffer curve and gave rise to prohibition US

3/ trying to a bunch of schemes.
b). get rid of the CGT that the Labor Party has put in place on the sale of businesses – this is a HUGE disincentive to small business and it's just evil. Also get rid of taxation on testamentary trusts (it's a death tax).
c) if you want a FAIRER tax system, make each marginal rate higher (as in, raise the ceiling on each rate) and increase the GST. The reason is rich people spend more on goods and services. It's that simple.

2/ style organised crime making chop-chop.
Now. If that political party wanted to come up with a TRULY mind blowing set of tax policies it should consider:
a) aligning the top marginal rate to the company rate of tax (reducing the top marginal rate) so that there's no benefit to

Hunter Biden says he's broken down every barrier between him and me? No sir, that is not true. Number 1, I have genes that mean none of that gear that got you high would even WORK on me, let alone the legal equivalents and, even more than that, Number 2, I grew up in poverty, so

6/ ignorant the people living there were – they didn't even know that we're alive because of horseshoe crab blood and how easily horseshoe crabs - not crabs, but a relic pre-Cambrian, could be wiped out by our greed and our need for their special blood. That's another thing, I

2/ name before commenting so that we can remark upon them. I bet there are a bunch of people in glass houses throwing stones. I wouldn't hear any of the "you should have seen me when I was young" bullshit either. If you're going to comment on an ill person's physical appearance

I flicked channels and heard the stupidist thing from Fox some woman with dark hair and a centre part: "Moses didn't need a lot of signs before he started building the ark..."
My sister in Christ - (a) God spoke to Moses DIRECTLY and (b) NOAH built the ark. She's wearing a cross!🤦♀️

Is it wrong that I am laughing so hard at Jim Chalmers trying to pretend that it wasn't always his intention to kill off negative gearing and to make CGT changes to shares? He clearly was always going to do it, but he follows Paul Keating's preferred method of saying "I do not

7/ They have done this for ADHD recently – GP's ALL can now diagnose ADHD (but without any more training, which is odd). They should, however, be able to diagnose that you have eg "a connective tissue disorder" and then send you to the geneticists, instead of waiting years to see
