"When philosophy paints its grey in grey then has a shape of life grown old. By philosophy's grey in grey it cannot be rejuvenated but only understood. The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of dusk." -- G.W.F. Hegel, 'Preface', Philosophy of Right.

'Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainity and agitation distinquish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones ... All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned.' Marx

out of sorts « Previous | |Next »
December 24, 2005

I've been struggliing with the changeover from dial up to broadband down at the holiday shack in Victor Harbor these last couple of days. It is not going well and the finger can be pointed at Telstra.

So I've been a little out of sorts.

I noted this in passing. More money could be spend for the public good , not private gain.

Gary, Public good? The government has increased tax as a percentage of GDP by nearly six percent in ten years. Reform is necessary. The government has a policy of bracket creep, low income earners pay way too much in tax. Electoral bribes end up being middle class churn too.

Not good. They probably should cut all income tax for people earning under 50K.

Cameron,
I should have said not just private gain.

Some of the booty needs to be spent on tax reform, some kept and some spent on infrastructure, and some on health.
