Regardless of $6,000 toasters, I hate the perpetuation of the 'trickle-down economics' myth. Cutting company taxes doesn't necessarily lead to more jobs--companies don't hire people just because they've got extra money, they hire people if there is more demand for their products and services. Giving welfare recipients or lower-income earners even a modest increase in income will result in more demand for products and services because, funnily enough, poor people need to buy things. E.g. if I had an extra $20/fortnight I might be able to go to the hairdresser more than once a year, and on a large scale this would increase demand for hairdressers, and would lead to more jobs in hairdressing! If someone on a higher income received $20 extra a fortnight, they might invest the extra money in shares or put it towards their mortgage, but it'd have little difference to their spending habits in general. Tax cuts for the rich don't stimulate the economy to the same scale that they do for the poor.

but if a poor person can buy one good pair of $200 shoes then they won't keep buying crappy $50 shoes every few months

the poor person spends the money on goods or services, which are provided by businesses so what you're saying is, we need to support businesses so they can provide things for us to buy

This cannot be stated enough. Welfare for low income earners is efficient economic stimulus. Unfortunately the majority of Australians still believe that the Libs are the better economic managers, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. e: this, basically Au Revoir Shosanna fucked around with this message at 19:44 on May 10, 2016 |

Yeah it does a bit, I'll give them a call this week when I can get two hours free to deal with their poo poo lol. Also thanks gay picnic defence, I did speak to someone at the uni before I dropped out as I think they removed failed subjects due to sad brains so I might be able to use that to help me. turdbucket fucked around with this message at 20:47 on May 10, 2016 |

A crowdfunding campaign to "buy Duncan Storrar a toaster" has raised more than its $6,000 target after the Aussie battler became a social media sensation for his appearance on Q&A on Monday night. There was an outpouring of support on social media with tweets including the hashtag #IstandwithDuncan and #DuncanforPM. The Buy Duncan Storrar a Toaster crowdfunding campaign on GoFundMe was created by user Samuel Slammer Fawcett on Tuesday with a goal of $6,000. "Hey — Duncan seems like a good bloke and every little bit of cash goes a long way," the campaign states. "We reckon he deserves a bit of a helping hand so we've decided to buy him a new toaster. "6 grand oughtta (sic) cover it. And if he has a little bit left over, maybe he can take his kids to the movies or something." In the early hours of Wednesday, it had raised almost $8,000 with more than 360 donations made in eight hours. Late on Tuesday night Mr Fawcett shared a campaign update: "Hey toaster lovers. Grab yourselves a piece of toast and watch this tick over 6K! By the time you read this we will probably have hit the goal."

I don't know which headline is more funny, the Albo one or Roger Rogerson saying he is a victim. Probably both cancel one another out.

quote:Dunno, I never really like one of charities like this. We shouldn't need to do stunts like his, Duncan and other lower income people shouldn't be penalised or put down because "they don't pay enough tax". And sure as poo poo shouldn't have to need to explain their situation to clueless politicians who have no idea what people are going through. It's good publicity for the plight of people like Duncan. Also it shows that people care.

Mr Storrar receives housing benefits, Austudy benefits and pays no effective tax whatsoever.....yet wants more. He is a typical welfare parasite who has made poor life choices, yet wants those who contribute to this nation to support him. His life is portrayed by the ABC as tough! Apart from his spurious claim of an easily faked "disease" brought on by an unprovable catalyst. Rather than lift himself up by his bootstraps as most of us with "tough" lives have been forced to do; he's content to play the victim card. Storrar is a prime example of everything that is wrong with this nation today, and its spiralling plunge into the depths of welfare enablement. [e: beaten]

Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is an impossible act and the term is meant to imply that something is unreasonably difficult bordering on impossible.
