Happy New Year!!!
"DRS" wrote in message ... The only ones to miss out were those on the dole, As well as ALL those low wage earners not recieving government handouts, who once again missed out on any help. There are plenty of people on low, and very low incomes, including part time workers, who recieve no government benefits. And no christmas bonus either. possibly because they're not considered long-term low-income earners. Funny then people complaining that many are. But in any case why NOT pay them the bonus IF their income for the previous year is below say $20K, as quite a few are? and most middle income families got free money. Those families that qualified for Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Part A or had a dependent child/children eligible to receive Youth Allowance, Abstudy or a Veterans' Children Education Scheme payment received $1,000 per child. Not all low-income but still disposed to spend. Even high income earners "spend", but surely don't need being subsidised by low income earners? As with Howard/Costello, the incentives are mostly for middle class people to over-populate, rather than real help for poor people. The facts bely your claim. I really wish they did! MrT. |

You should be so proud of yourself that your 40% is going to a worthy cause. Needn't worry about getting any of the back 40 back as it is gone.

Talk about simplistic thinking......If I really had to blame it on somebody, I would start with the liberals that insisted on lending money to buy houses to people who had no jobs and no down payments.... Of course you would, because you'd rather cling to a fiction than accept the facts. That's what really caused the problem. Bull****. Not that I am happy with Bush's spending, mind you.....But he isn't the only spendthrift president we've had in the last 60 years or so.....He just ran our national debt up from about 6 Trillion to twice that. "Just" (Which isn't surprising, because at a 7.3% inflation rate, everything doubles every 10 years.) The last time inflation was that high Reagan was president. Fish-head, your ignorant slut. The highest Misery Index was under the Peanut I didn't refer to the "highest", dumb****. I didn't say you did, dick-licker "The HIGHEST Misery Index" Stupid asshole. Who's the "stupid asshole" up at 3 AM posting juvenile retorts? Still you, asshole. Drunk again after midnight? Yep, still you. I think No evidence for that. -- Ray Fischer |
