In an ideal world the dole would be reset to a percentage of the current average full time wage every year. Of course politicians hate automatic things like that because they like to have the freedom to stomp poor people to bolster the budget so it'll never happen.

Lid posted:It estimates that 864 tonnes of illicit tobacco escapes duty each year. DancingShade posted:Based on the LNP/IPA track record of announcements this is a case of [citation needed] for any claims they make. At 20g of tobacco per pack (I didn't go past the first google result to find this) that's 43.2 million packs per year. Assuming the people buying chop chop get 100% of thier tobacco on the black market and are heavy smokers that works out to nearly 118k pack a day smokers which is 3% (13.3% rate on 24m population) of all smokers. That number sounds very high especially when you tweak the overly generous parts of that calculation like only including adult population and changing it to 2-3 illegal packs a week.

Actually heres a better link even though the data is from 2015 http://www.tobaccoinaustralia.org.au/chapter-2-consumption/2-5-industry-sales-figures-as-estimates-for-consum Says approximately 16000 tonnes a year of tobacco is sold here (if a cigarette is 1g). That makes their number 5% of all tobacco in 2015

Pinball Jizzard posted:You seem to have missed the context of the comment. He’s comparing the 47% paid at $200k vs the 30% paid by business at $1m. More tax cuts are being given to business (which studies have shown doesn’t lead to job creation) whilst those earners in the low six figures haven’t seen a tax break in 10 years. Eat the rich and all that, but it’s absurd. I agree. Companies don't pay enough tax on profits E;fb

Pinball Jizzard posted:Large companies don’t. There’s a balance that needs to be maintained. Small companies are great job creators and maintainers; giving them the ability to grow and create jobs is a good thing. Large companies are job creators, but once they reach a certain point, will try to cut jobs to make more money. Profits are by definition not being used to grow the business *already*. Reducing taxation on them will not increase the amount that is invested into the business You are just regurgitating brain-dead IPA talking points

Pinball Jizzard posted:I want to write a long response but I’m on my phone and I don’t see myself opening a laptop to do it. You didn't answer his question He asked how a pre-tax expense is affected by the tax rate in any way. Literally all of the things you listed are not affected by tax rates one bit because if they were spent that money would no longer be profit and therefore not taxed

Stevefin posted:It certainly feels like an election budget, Vote for us now and maybe we will give out our promises, and for our voter bases out there (Boomers) You will get a sweet tax cut! It's pretty pitiful compared to the cash splashes of the Howard era I mean even the ruddbucks and pink batts were better, and they actually did a good job at stimulating demand
