as a disbility pensioner i'm not asked to pay tax on my payment

So why would other people/companies paying more tax allow you to pay less.....how much less can you pay than zero?

 

but yes i do pay GST everytime i spend my money

Not everything is subject to GST.  I have successfully been to the supermarket for a week's worth of food and paid no GST....fresh unprocessed food is free of GST.

 

and when i worked i paid weekly taxes every week

there were no boxes to tick or claims i could make to 'get out of paying'

All wage earners pay tax....and they can make claims for expenses to earn that income.   You only pay tax on your taxable income, not your gross income.

Some people have more claims available to them than others....it is not always "fair" but it is equitable.

 

but this thread isnt about individuals posting being 'allowed' an opinion determined by their financial position

 

is it?

Why shouldn't posters be allowed to express an opinion based on their knowedge of how the system works?

I was mindful of who the OP was.

 

I had no inkling why he asked me a question that only he would know the answer to.

He had posted he was on disability pension. He could have any disability, some could affect memory and a subtle approach was more appropriate rather than one of conflict as is so often seen on the board. 

 

 Upon posting my comment I mentioned to a work associate, I anticipate by the days end a comment will appear in reply to mine and receive kudos, surprised the deliberate omission of a word in the same comment has yet to be corrected.

Scrolling back, the only question I see David asking you was 'What's your point?'

OMG the Sheriff is in town.

 

I had no notion a matter as unimportant and trivial as this would receive the attention it has, and from one person.

 

I was thrilled when I read your investigation had uncovered evidence that led to my exoneration as the person the question was put to and equally thrilled that you adopted the โ€œscrollingโ€ technique to uncover what you considered to be fact.

 

Unfortunately your investigation and findings makes no sense whatsoever.

 

Allow me to explain, beginning with my reply about having to ask the OP.

 

When you read my comment you saw it as a perfect opportunity to display your authority and the urge to correct, for which you are known.

 

Your 1st reply is posted, quickly receiving the tick of approval from Deputy Fact Checker.

I replied and wrote, I was mindful of who the OP was.

 

When you read my comment it triggered you, whether you felt foolish, angered or simply peeved that someone stopped you in your tracks, whatever it was, you were triggered, thus leading to the exhausting investigative โ€œscrollingโ€, looking for anything you could uncover to โ€œget meโ€ and anything would suffice.

 

Once found you closed the inverstigation without seeing it to ts end, posting your 2nd reply where you announced your findings together with the method you used to discover what you believed were facts.

 

What your diligent investigation failed to recognise is, if is not me, only one person remains.

 

Therefore, if you had continued your investigation it would prove the OP had asked himself the question.

The reply itself confirms this fact.

 

Deputy Fact Checker failed to discover this important piece of evident. Evidence that is in plain view or, could it be this was a deliberate oversight on his part.

Past evidence confirms the Deputy has on occasions directly replied to others because they have posted a reply to themselves. I make no accusations towards the Deputy being on the payroll, nonetheless, it does raise a flag and to avoid further embarrassment to the Sheriffs office,  I call for the surrender of his badge and resignation.

 

I refuse to accept that the OP would ever submit a reply asking himself a question, it is preposterous. 

Only 2 people know who the question was put to and, you're not one of them.

 

FYI, it was timing. A cryptic clue for you and your next Deputy to investigate.

If you again were to employ the โ€œscrollingโ€ method it will end in a similar fashion.

 

I expect that someone will whine and this will be removed.  

 

BTW can someone please give the Sheriff a Kudo on either of their previous posts on this topic, only one is required.
