So then, we'd likely have a foreign owner. And foreign content.,

meaning the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. Not very Aussie.

Not that there would be a huge line to buy it.

Channel 7 & 9 are foreign owned?

That's news.
 
ABC budget per annum. $1.2 billion. In other words sweet FA.

That's $1.2 billion more than SANTOS has paid in taxes that they've paid for the past 10 years.

ATO data reveals:​

  • Santos Limited has racked up a 10th straight year of zero corporate tax payments from a total of nearly $47 billion in sales.

New government data confirms gas exporters continue to pay no tax

Corporate tax transparency data released yesterday by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) shows, once again, that multinational gas exporters are reaping billions from Australian resources while paying little or no tax.

Again I ask you, why do you hate Australia so much you let billionaires steal from us? Explain the obsession with cucking for billionaires who give no fucks about you or me.

First sensible thing you've said since you joined the forum.

I mean you have just contradicted everything you've been saying for the past few days, about taxing the wealthy, how billionaires employ everyone and we should leave them alone, and how having higher taxes is 'communism' but it looks like you're making progress as a human being. Clap, clap.

Why do you hate Australia so much that you'd throw open the gates to people who 1. have shown they have absolutely no interest in integrating with Australian society and 2 have little to no English?

As for cucking billionaires, with the exception of Rinehart most billionaires in this country worked their arses off for their money.

Case in point former FA chairman Frank Lowy, a bloke who survived the Holocaust, comes to Australia from nothing and turns a humble shopping centre into one of the largest shopping centre chains in the world.

Enough of the sarcasm mate.

You sook when I give it you but you only got back what you gave me.
 
Rather than cut tax for the wealthy to 'stimulate the economy' I'm more in favour of cutting taxes for the lowest earners...

In Puccini’s opera La Boheme, Marcello is the destitute artist forced to keep warm by feeding a stove with pages from his friend Rodolpho’s drama. Even when money comes his way, usually as a gift, it is cause to splurge, not save....

When Marcello does get some money for his paintings, off he goes down to the Latin Quarter and spend, spend, spend....

The wealthy classes tend not to act in this manner.

1. Firstly nowhere did I say EVER to throw open the gates. Get your facts straight.
2. Secondly nowhere did I say I have no interest in whether they integrate with Australia. Get your facts straight.

As for cucking for billionaires do you think it's OK for SANTOS to sell $47 billion in gas but pay no taxes? You're OK with that? If you're OK with that then you're, ipso facto, cucking for billionaires.

Good for Frank and if he paid his taxes even better. If he was a tax dodging cunt then fuck him. You do know that for every dollar a billionaire doesn't pay to the government is a dollar that comes out of my pocket and yours. You do know that don't you? Tell me you do.

Well also if you have $2 billion, for example, it's more money than you can spend in 10 lifetimes anyway. Once you've bought all your rich person toys the rest of it just sits their anyway doing literally fuck all.

It's obscene that someone with $5 billion is earning, at 4% interest, $200 million in a year in interest while people are homeless but for some reason billionaire bootlickers think this is fine and dandy.

Blind Freddie would tell you that is the case but do you really trust the government to look after the country's best interests? GTFOH.

Most governments of either persuasion in this country only care about votes and getting re-elected hence why governments throw the gates open to hundreds of thousands of people who have absolutely no interest of integrating into Australian society, hate everything we stand for and have little to no English skills.

I concede we are one of the lowest taxing nations in the world but the taxes we pay in this country are ridiculous.

Well I think that the entire current capitalist system is not the future....

You can't keep on allowing rhe super wealthy to get more and more, whilst ignoring the problems at the bottom and moreover these day's the middle and upper middle....

Eventually the political class will have to look at ways to fairly cap wealth.

Having 10,000 pharaohs and 8 slaves will lead to rioting and it won't be pretty!

A socialist or communist system like in Eastern Europe in the mid to late 20th century or North Korea & Cuba isn't the answer either.

A balance has to be found here.

Otherwise you will have virtually an entire population of 20-60 year old citizens in Australia/Canada/UK and so on living their lives in the rental property sector.....

Which will be just like "A socialist or communist system like in Eastern Europe in the mid to late 20th century or North Korea & Cuba..."

The only difference being in East Germany, Russia and so on the state owned the bricks and mortar and not the wealthy.
