Do we really tax the strong?? I heard that Kerry Packer never had a taxable income of more than 100k and didn't even pay income tax on that. That's probably an overstatement but lets not pretend the filthy rich pay their fair share. They use their influence to change the laws in their favour and their fancy barristers to circumvent those they can't change. Meanwhile the average Joe on PAYG never even sees the money.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to pay my share of tax. What riles me is (1) rich bludgers, and (2) the misuse of the money I pay, generally by the same rich bludgers.
