Young Aussies face prospect of new levy to pay for ageing boomers
Working Australians could soon be slugged with a major new tax-style levy as the government backflips on an election promise.
The classic tradition of pulling up the ladder behind them continues.
Maybe if we could get the multinationals to pay a fraction of tax we could afford it.
Or even the mineral corpos. We almost had it.
They should sign their houses over to the government to cover the cost of these government services they want to access to rather than tax workers.
To some extent, yes, but also no. This is just a symptom of wealth accumulation, it's not all about 'boomers' it's about greedy people, it just so happens that many boomers were in a strong position to be greedy and get lucky. We still have corporations and banks making too much money, we shouldn't forget about those.
This exactly. Though I'm pissed at the ladder being pulled up behind them as OP so vividly put it, as far as the decisions made by boomers before Facebook and Murdoch addled their brains, I can't honestly say I would have acted differently in their shoes.
awesome, can't wait /s
As if we can suffer further under them
Classic Boomers. Spent "the kids inheritance" and now want the kids to pay for their old age.
