Taxation as a culture of not paying tax.
Is nothing wrong with the taxation system? Yes, there is. It just favors the rich by not taxing them enough. Through the year’s taxation, brackets have been lowered. Compare today’s tax brackets with the one in the seventies. People were happy to pay more tax and be rich at the same time. 30% of Major Companies do not pay any tax in Australia. The most relevant fact in the Taxation System of Australia is a culture of not paying taxes. The liberal party won elections by lowering the tax. Wherever you go you see signs of tax minimization evoked. You need to pay tax, there should be a culture of paying tax. The more tax you pay the more benefits to people. There should be a taxation account with tax money paid by the volunteers. The money belongs to everybody. It belongs in a pool. The notion that tax money is spent by an irresponsible government is flawed. The money belongs to people and not to the taxpayer. You pay tax because you earn a lot of money. If you have little money you pay less tax. The difference between a pensioner and a guy who makes 100 000 dollars is in the tax you pay, you pay more because you earn more.
With tax money you build roads, schools, universities, hospitals, institutions where public servants work, and so on. So you need tax money. It is believed that in Australia the top 1% of the population has the equal wealth to 70% of people. That could be more. In the USA it is 90% of the population earns as much as the top 1%. The money is not spread equally. There are 140 000 people on the street, due to the housing crisis, and there are people who have 10 billion dollars. One billion dollars from the one who has ten could fix the whole problem. I was wondering how you can sleep at night knowing that the money you have earned can fix such a problem. In cities where rent is so high such as Sydney and Melbourne, you need government intervention to provide rent assistance to low-paid professionals to live in the inner suburbs close to the CBD. Professionals such as Teachers, Policemen, Nurses, and others. Return to page number one thepeoplewhocaremovement.org
