    Hmmm, maybe we should tax the rich a significant portion, nationalise the mines, remove negative gearing, remove tax loopholes for the wealthy. That’d be a good start.

      It’s not even about taxing the rich. It’s about appropriately taxing corporations. We’re selling all of our natural resources for absolutely negligible value to the Australian people.

          Now you’re sounding like a taco ad. Unfortunately, until the majority of mainstream media is not owned by conservatives or traditional press dies out… I don’t see any meaningful tax reform in the future

      Why do that when you can just print/issue more money? And all your rich friends, donors and you get to keep the wealth you have and make lots more, increasing even further the gap between rich and poor!
