The problem in Australia is firstly our dole bludger social security system. My biggest pet hate in life.
A dole bludging family ,husband n wife with 2 or more kids get around $1050 to $1100 per week every Fri night into their bank. No incentive to work here at all. Mr and Mrs Hard working Family, both working, with same kids take home apx $1300 a week between them minus fuel n car expenses each, and all of a sudden, you are no better off than the bludgers at $1050 to $1100 a week.
Then the hard workers pay 35 to 40 percent tax to support the longterm freeloaders. Then the cost of living rises, because tax rates of 40 percent mean people are barely getting by, then its a viscious circle, because you have to pay people $20 a hour plus, at 40 hrs a week so they can pay the tax to support the bludgers.
Our social security system should be dumped. Food stamps via a coles or woollies card, people made to work for the dole or get a job.
And sickness payments only shld be made to people with legit medical issues backed up by catscans/MRI and government specialists so only the truly needy get helped. Dont get me started.
A guy n his wife, on the dole, bludging away, for the last 10 years, just went out, bought new furniture, new 60 inch TV's, spent 15 grand on a overseas trip, and proudly told me they can easily save money on the dole. No car expenses, no fuel expenses, no work clothes, $1100 a week, subsidized rent with rent assistance, free medical, a few extra goverment grant payments a year, free food vouchers up to $200 a time, several times a year for coles n woolies, electricity bills paid twice a year by the government, free daycare, and it goes on and on and on and on.
Everytime I see these people, I just want to run them over in my car.lol (only joking
) But u get the picture.
This family, came here 10 yrs ago from overseas, been on govt payments ever since, got a $20,000 payment to set up house/furniture etc etc, and similar payments on top of the weekly figure, for the first 3 yrs, decreasing slightly each time. Why ? god knows, I cant work out why. No one ever gave me a cent. But bludgers get set for life. Its so painful to see.
The system here is sooo wrong. The worker gets no assistance, the bludger scum get everything.
