Comment on 'We've reached a breaking point': Is it time to tax older Australians more?

Ageist bullshit is exactly the same as all other bigotry…Should we tax Jews and Muslims more…brown people. Gays. Transexuals. Fuck that bullshit.

The people who should be taxed more are the rich and their huge companies. They own the media and set the agenda. They own some of the politicians and they threaten other politicians with opposition from ad campaigns and media opposition if they don’t get their way. They fund massive misinformation campaigns and populist right wing politicians who claim they are there for the little people. Their are trying their hardest to kill democracy.

Our tax system should be fair. It isn’t. Those who can afford to pay the most often pay very little. The party created to represent working Australians is terrified into inaction despite having a massive mandate and no effective opposition. What does that say? We are fucked.
