Capital Gains Tax

[minimoke]

You really make things complicated Minimoke. Now we are discussing working for families. (I would note GST on $23,000 is $3,000.00 or $57.69 per week but that is being pedantic.)

I don't believe I am complicating things. I am more accurately reflecting the story. It is impossible to talk about regressive tax in the context of the rich and poor without accounting for income. Like it or not Working for Families bolsters incomes so it must be taken into account.

WWF is that inconvenient benefit people who spruik poverty consistently do not raise. Do you ever hear the "Living Wage " bleaters mention it. No of course not - because it undermines their position that people don't take much home
after a being exploited by the capitalist employers intent only on exploiting the vulnerable.

And as an aside you wont here the government advocate against Living Wage because it pushes the burdon of income from the tax payer onto the employer.
