Why are people such staunch Labor voters?

[curmu-curmu]

Particularly when every Labor governement in living history has amounted such huge debts whilst in office?

Or is it just that they blindly follow the old mantra, that 'Labor is for the working man?'

Now don't get me wrong - I don't particularly like Abbott, and I sure as h3ll didn't like Rudd or Gillard, but there's so much more to a political party than it's leader.

Feel free to discuss...

One third of top Australian companies pay less than 10pc tax; Government missing out on at least $8b per year

....Some companies, such as James Hardie and Westfield Retail Trust, pay zero tax.

....Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox pays 1 per cent tax and casino group Echo Entertainment pays 5 per cent tax.

....According to the research, 57 per cent of all ASX 200 companies have subsidiaries in tax havens

 Glass half empty. How much did they pay?

How many jobs did they provide? The wages paid? The follow on effect of their business? Primary producers? Second tier producers?

Gee, hope I spelt everything right.

am3 I would show you how and why the rich pay all the county's tax but I doubt that you have the logic or original thought processes to be able to comprehend any other concept than your own.

Even if you did get a inkling your instinct would not accept it.

NBN is not even on my must have list. I'd rather people get the medical treatment they need.

As I said before you are one person, you don't speak for ALL Australians.. other Australians need a better broadband service than they have now.

If there was no NBN, would that money be spent on health instead? NO

And, please, stop being condescending. It doesn't become you.

 Please stop making false assumptions and telling me what to do.

Yes I am one person. I don't think internet speed is that important. Sue me.

I don't tell people what to do. If that's what you read it says a lot about you, and not much about me. I have opinions. This is a forum for the public, I have a right to say what I think. Or do I?

[poddster]

am3 I would be glad to debatr the NBN with you in depth but that is not the subject of this thread.

No probs with anyone who has one, don't feel the need for one myself. Say what I want, no groups agenda, post when I want to, work and real life, no nbn (not important)

Hey, this used to be a place you could discuss issues. The latest news whatever that was, now it's just political bashing. Guess that's why the forums dead.

[poddster]

Yep and the lack of humour, political correctness and the report button. Lethal to all forums.
