This is the myth perpetrated by many that all the welfare entitlements are free, doctors visits, hospitals and educatiion is free.

 

NO it isn't never has been and never will be. OUR taxes pay for it all. The working people of Australia pay for these services by paying income tax.

 

They are free to the people who do not participate in the workforce and therefore they don't pay tax to contribute to their use of these services.

 

 

Those are free public services - public schools, public hospitals, bulk bill clinics - available to all.

 

 


 

 

These services are not free, have never been free and never will be free. They are paid for by income tax paid by workers. OK!


Is that your issue? Taxes? Is that it? Is that really all it boils down to? That you object to your taxes being used to support indigenous communities?

 

Cause if so I have the answer: I (as well as many others) are more than hapy for OUR taxes to go toward keeping traditional communities alive. So WE will pay for it.

 

YOU can pay YOUR share of taxes to keep those real leeches subsidised - global corporations and mining companies. Cause I don't want my taxes to keep those **bleep**s and their shareholders profitable. 

 

There. Now we are even. Smiley Wink


Read ALL my posts and you will never find one word that I object to my taxes going to support anybody anywhere in this country.

 

I find your post completely  antagonistic and uncalled for, you are putting your own spin on it and attributing a tenet that I never said I adhered to, never uttered a single word to that effect.

 

Your spin on  it is hostile and patently untrue.

 

Take a deep breath and calm down.

Its not a contest and I find your tone bullying and antagonistic.

 


Well actually the distribution of taxes IS a contest amongst the recipients. Some win (mining comoanies), some are about to lose (indigenous communities).

 

Anyway, what tone? I thought you would thank me for coming up with such a logical solution to the dilemma you seem to have about what your taxes should pay for. You should THANK me lol. Smiley LOL

Oh Ok. So you are happy for your taxes to pay for indigenous settlements. Good on you!

 

But then I am confused -  if not about taxes, then what IS your objection? 

 

By the way, I made that assumption because yopu mention taxes  on the last page a total of 6 times (posts 123,127, 133, 136, 143, 146). I am sure you mentioned it a 'few' times in earlier pages but I couldn't be bothered scrolling back.

obviously you jave a problem with comprhension. I only mentiond taxes because many on here kept parrotting that all services are free, hospitals, education, RFDS, and all other welfare benefits are free.

 

I only mentiond that all those services are not free, the money for all those welfare and services is paid for by working taxpayers and companies.

 

You worked yourself up and got completely confused and then you troll back to try to justify your assault on me.

 

Well your are wrong on all your accusations, wrong on all your assumptions and your confusion allowed you to go off half cocked.

 

As I said before, calm down.

So tell me again what your objection is to government funding indigenous communities?

 

Cause I didn't hear your answer the first time you (didn't) say it. Smiley Wink

Re: Displacing Indigenous Australians

brights reply was not directed to you so you are still confused, having a problem comprehending?

 

You blew yourself up and then tried to blame me. You made  hostile assumptions and got caught out.

LOL.

 

Duh! I know very well what brighton was implying.

 

But I don't know what you are reading between the lines of my words but no fear - I am, now and always, "calm". Smiley Wink

 

Now. About that question you have still been unable to answer, I will repeat it: What is your objection to funding being provided for indigenous communities?

 

I thought it a fairly straightforward question myself.
