HOW THEY DO IT

How governments solve an agonising dilemma.


You are the government.
You have been given orders by your
masters to reduce working wages.
You rely on collecting most revenue
via PAYE tax, so if you reduce wages
you also reduce your tax take.

The solution is to shift the taxable
area to spending, away from earning.
This is accomplished by a Goods and
Services Tax.
Once a GST is in place you can reduce
pay rates in comfort, and still fool
the working dullards!

Those who hold the nation's assets
still remain on their tax holiday,
of course...

    That's how you run an economy. You spend $100,000,000 on
    Indonesia after the tsunami, you then allow W.Papuans to
    emigrate and you spoil the bribe. You then run around like
    a headless chook pretending to be a Prime Minister of a 1st
    World Nation, that has any kind of national pride.

    Yes we can fight wars with billions of dollars worth of planes,
    we can be just about as stupid as that.

    Morons, bloody stupid as mud patty morons.
