Hi,
I noticed that the GST has been mentioned. In economic terms, it is classed as a REGRESSIVE TAX. It does not discriminate between the haves and the have-nots. Their is no sliding scale. This type of tax has been implemented in many countries, and has never increased the living standard of the poor. It generally comes with a small decrease in income tax, which to the poor is f**k all, and the those better off, it is more. Very REGRESSIVE. It taxes goods that are considered needs (required to survive), as well as wants.
Tax the good when it is new, tax it when it is sold second hand. What a f**k.
I'm not really much of a fan of this tax system, but I believe the system we had before needed a massive overhaul.
I'm not a Liberal basher either. But I do have an Economics Degree, and did study it a bit.
Cheers,
Justin
