Getting down to the REAL truth.
There has been a lot of propaganda and misinformation about the Mining Tax in this campaign. So it’s important that we get a few things straight.
Mineral prices have tripled in the past few years, and they’ll continue to soar. Julia Gillard has decided that just because the minerals in the ground belong to everyone, everyone in Australia should share in that wealth. Ridiculous.
She is taking $10.5 billion away from billionaires to fritter away on hospitals, school and to boost superannuation. That’s money that could otherwise be spent on caviar and yachts.
The only people who should benefit from the mining boom are the people who are already benefiting.
That’s why Tony Abbott has promised to abolish the Mining Tax. This sensible decision will:
- Give $10.5 billion dollars back into the hands of ordinary, everyday billionaires
- Stop that money being wasted on public hospitals and schools
- Send a clear message to Australia politicians that you don’t take on the big end of town
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, THE MINING TAX WILL AFFECT YOU
Hospitals
Imagine turning up to a public hospital to see that the emergency ward has been renovated, or there are more doctors on duty. Whack! Imagine how bad you’ll feel as you realise that those “improvements” come from money that has been ripped out of the hands of Australia’s struggling billionaire community.
Schools
Your child comes home from school and announces that there are a whole lot of new computers in the classroom. You suddenly realise that those computers have been paid for out of money that could otherwise have gone to buy a nice bottle of Grange, or a night at the Four Seasons Hotel in Venice. Whack! The shame of that money being frittered away on such frivolous things as education suddenly hits you. If only you’d voted for Tony Abbott and his promise to abolish the mining tax.
Superannuation
You’re 30 now. Imagine how bad you’ll feel when you retire, and realise that $100,000 of your Superannuation is a direct result of the mining tax. That’s money that was desperately needed for yacht maintenance.
ONLY ABBOTT UNDERSTANDS that a billion dollars doesn’t go far nowadays.
It’s outrageous how billionaires have to put up with this. Lucky they’ve got their stooge Tony…I mean champion…to set things right.
It is always the multi-million dollar earning CEO’S who say that labour is too expensive in this country. It is mostly the highly profitable forigen owned multinationals who say we cannot afford to pay this tax on the proffits they have earned form this country.One rule for them another rule for the workers,ie the ones who made them rich. am I wrong in any of this?
Great site, I just discovered it from you tube. Actually I was going to vote Liberal, but now I have decided to vote for a minor party (not greens). I like the idea of the mining tax, but I think Gillard should go further and tax the banks with a big super profit tax. What’s the policy opinion on that?
OH! yes! let’s steal off the “evil” rich to pay off the “innocent” poor. Isn’t it funny how the english language can be manipulated by criminals and socialists to make Black sound like white and bullshite sound like Icecream! Let’s give these people more appropriate names and see how that sounds! – Lets steal off “Achievers!” to give to “dead-beats / drifters / druggies / unionists / socialists etc etc (anyone who hasn’t lifted a finger to try and make themselves a success)” That sounds totally different and far more accurate!
Lets spin the socialist crap! LETS STEAL OFF ANYONE WITH MONEY!!! (achievers) and give to the dead-beats who expect FREE health care, FREE education, FREE housing, FREE F’N EVERYTHING!! Talk about christian / socialist economics! LOL!
Our 1 Person, 1 vote voting system gives socialists like you politcal power. Through weight of numbers, all the trash in society steam rolls over the achievers and then that’s when the criminal theft starts!! If we had a fair voting system, multiple votes per person based what a person gives to society, you people would be TOAST! as all the “takers” would lose votes while the “givers” would gain votes – totally fair! and Stupid class-warfare garbage would never be seen again!
I know. Do you know how much work these “achievers” have to do to inherit all that money? Being born into a family and automatically having access to a couple of hundred million dollars (by “right” of birth) is hard work. Obviously you’re much superior to those evil lazy working-50-hours-a-week criminals. Why should they have a right to half-decent health care? Your lounging around in your $200 000 000 mansion all day does MUCH more to help society than their researching for a cure for cancer ever will.
On average, how much better/more hard working ARE these millionares? If they get $1million a year, then OBVIOUSLY they must be 10x better. They unfortunately have to lay off 1000 workers, while 6 months ago they only got a bonus of $2million! It’s crazy how unfair even LESS money would be. I mean really, how is a billionare supposed to get enough money to get by (in a solid gold limousine, or five) on?
Oh yeah, you understand the real workers. Hospitals ; we can’t even get our essential Nurses paid correctly, we can’t get maternity doctors to hospitals Queensland health has gone backwards, not because of the workers but because of lack of management, and NO unions backing them up.WHY because Unions support labour and we can’t upset the boss.
Schools; computers were promised for every child from grade 9 through to 12, not happened yet. At least with mining companies in the area we can approach them and have a better chance of getting them.
In all the rich are there because the took chances and came out in front, have a good look at them and you will find they give a lot of money to charities .
All unions should stick together , “United we stand , divided we fall”, well I also don’t see any other union trying to help the Queensland Police Union with their fair pay , and in their words today what has been offered is not as good as it would have been under WORKCHOICES.
