Not to mention hand back bracket creep, call it a tax cut, while quietly giving the uber-wealthy a real rate cut without bothering to claw back any in rort, er, concession removal.
I seem to remember a bunch of boomers who changed the world, broke the Coalition stranglehold, got out of a bad war, made education free, made medicine free, yabada yabeda. Gens X and Y have all the time in the world to get off their gutless arses and do something a little radical for a change, we might be inclined to help 'em. I got zero outa this budget, and you're not paying enough to insult me either.
All fair points, except the OTT vitriol. I quoted Imre being a bit deliberately offensive and more than a little tongue in cheek- he is on my understanding a baby boomer.
The idea that i've expressed hatred is, with respect, utter nonsense. I think you've got a bit pissed over this issue so that even the smallest post acts like a steam valve.
You are asking if I'll look various bloggers in the eye and say- this budget was designed primarily to benefit your generation and win your votes?
Sure.
But isn't that an attack on the government responsible for the budget? And what I view as bad policy?
Toh, you only fuel the flames by running off all those achievements. It is the very fact of all those things turning into greed is good and being pulled away from the next group in line that pisses people off.
Claiming that one generation has enjoyed a disproportionate amount of opportunity, collectively, and claiming that individuals within that are somehow all individually responsible are completely different, radically different things.
Which is really stating the obvious, I would have thought.
