       This is what happens when rich people and their govt cronies convince voters that the biggest problems are these small-time issues and not the hundreds of billions of dollars that would be paid in tax if not for the technically legal avoidance going on with business and income tax at every bloody level, and a complete lack of guts in government. Paying as little tax as possible is a badge of honour; people literally boast about it and accountancy firms build their marketing around it. It's pretty sick, really, the open "it's a dog eat dog world" vibe of it. I'm no socialist (I certainly have socialist leanings but I confess I'm mostly still a consumer capitalist), but I sure as shit don't want my nest egg to grow at the expense of the commonwealth. https://aus.social/@geordie/109717858267293874
