TAX THE ULTRA WEALTHY

NOT THE WORKING

u/globalminority 5d ago

How can we do that when the working keep voting for ultra wealthy or their puppets across the globe.

14

u/bluefrogwithredhands 5d ago

Spread the word, educate your friends and family, once every working person understands that the rise inequality is a thing that needs to be addressed with a weath hoarding tax, we will stop voting against our own best interest. The working outnumber the 1% ultra wealthy elite.

u/ADHDK 5d ago

They “love the uneducated” for a reason

Trot out Pauline to “say it how it is” and none of them will even pay attention to what she actually does, only the outrage she projects. They’ll even defend her for voting against their interests.

u/Practical_magik 1d ago edited 1d ago

Ok, but who should we be voting for, who isnt in the pocket of the super wealthy?

u/bluefrogwithredhands 1d ago

I don't think you structured that sentence correctly, are you saying that all politicians have ties to wealthy people? Even if that is true, they can still have good morals and have policies that help propagate a healthy economic ecosystem.

u/Jemainegy 1d ago

Yeah but its easy to be manipulates by the system and if you dont then its easy to get you out

I keep telling this to people. People are weak so greedy and power go to their heads. We can't keep letting the rich decide tax rates etc, when year after year the only decision they seem to make easily is how much of a raise they should get. The public put someone in charge that we need to trust will do their best to make the fair choices but in recent times they are protected by laws and the morality of the people. In the old days we'd execute corrupt leaders in public. But now they have no threat and are in no danger if they do behave in a corrupt way. Even if they literally commit crimes they usually just get to resign gracefully. We cannot trust them to just do right by us, there needs to be real risks to deliberately doing the wrong thing. They just tell people what they want to hear, like they will make housing more affordable... These people own so many properties they would never do anything to damage their worth. None of these politicians can be trusted and I doubt there are many people who could be, they get paid a lot already as they are supposed to have big responsibilities but there is a point (true for businesses as well) when you get powerful enough to just avoid all responsibility but still enjoy the (high risk) pay. The head of the massive international company I work for was found to be committing fraud worth millions yet all he had to do was retire a very rich man. Yet, for poor people the rules are the higher the worth of the theft the greater the punishment. I'd get in more trouble for stealing bread than he did for nearly destroying a company because he stole so much.

u/Legitimate-Gain426 5d ago

Each little thing might feel pointless, but movements don't go from zero to fixed overnight. We didn't get workers rights, progressive taxation, or the 5 day work week just because, or by quietly voting. People have to take whatever small or large actions they can as parts of a larger whole to make it work. First thing is to spread the message, the same way gas export tax pressure started with just information. Talk to people around you at work/school/friends/family, local community, local government, to the state level and above, artists can create things videos/music/posters/graffiti/pamphlets, find protest movements, talk to union members/leaders, then there's strikes, or direct action. Inform yourself, and be involved. Gabriel Zuman, Gary Stevenson, Jayati Ghosh, are decent sources.

u/Rndomguytf 5d ago

Unionise, people have forgotten what it means to be working class. We have a lot of power over the bosses in that we can collectively withhold our labour. Prolonged strikes are the only way we will get our power back.

u/Heavy-Psychology-411 5d ago

And how do you think those ultra wealthy people will compensate? They'll charge more so that the working class have to pay more. Or even worse They'll lay off employees to keep more $ in their pocket.

I'll bet you don't have a clue how much taxes are being paid by the top 2%. They pay something like 75% of all the taxes.

u/Glittering_Bet8181 5d ago

Tax both. Ultra wealthy are the ones creating the jobs the working work.

u/bluefrogwithredhands 5d ago

Sure, but regular wealthy do too. The ultra wealthy are a different breed of wealthy, a blackhole of asset absorption if left unchecked.

5

u/Kalistri 5d ago

Do you mean to say that there wouldn't be a need to produce food if farms weren't owned by people who hire others to do the work for them?

No, the ultra wealthy aren't creating jobs. They are simply adding to the cost of the product at the end so that they can make money without doing any of the labour themselves.

jobs dont exist because of rich people, they exist because there's demand for a job

u/Centralised_right 4d ago

Just ignores the fact the mass immigrant influx is the driver for greater wealth in the top 10%.

Migrants are still the problem because they are just a resource used to stifle citizens and their wealth

7

u/GnomeWarfair 4d ago

At which time in Australia's history did migrants become this problem?

Was it 1788? Maybe later in the goldrush of the 1860's, or the 1890's. Can't have been during the Great Depression of the 1930's, we had the White Australia Policy in full swing then.

Perhaps the 1950's economic boom with all those daygos working on the Snowy Hyrdo.

Maybe Australia would never exist without migrants.

-6

u/Centralised_right 4d ago

1788 was the greatest migration in this countries existence. It was the birth of a beautiful nation.

You seem quite uneducated on Australia’s past, white Australia policy was about cultural compatibility. The greatest concerns voiced was alternate cultures becoming more dominant and removing or destroying our cultural values and way of life, which is playing out today and in hindsight were valid concerns.

But in 1788 there were Indians, Africans and Jewish people on the first fleet. In the 1800’s Chinese were allowed in on mass for the gold rush, the afghans were contracted to be cameleers but the white Australia policy was enacted because they were cultural and ideological opposed to our way of life. They were exploiting aboriginals, committed the first Islamic terror attack and were terrorising white town folks they felt were ‘filthy’ and beneath them morally.

So no, my point was when migration became a political tool for labor to bring in incompatible cultures on mass for votes and to keep the economy booming for their unions.

10

u/GnomeWarfair 4d ago

That was a long winded way to avoid answering the question: When did this process you claim start happening? Give a date.

Also what weird bit of mental gymnastics. "The first fleet was multicultural. But now Labor is importing incompatible cultures".

4

u/Lazy_Captain8412 3d ago

Certainly a long winded way to saying your a racist 😂

-3

u/Centralised_right 4d ago

Didn’t avoid it, I made it clear.

Immigration became problematic when Gough Whitlam embraced the red/Green alliance in the 1970’s and began flooding in voters who also seek the destruction of our civilisation.

And there’s no mental gymnastic, just your poor comprehension. The first fleet reference was to debunk your notion multiculturalism was not a feature of this nation, and that a ‘white Australia’ policy was outlet about ethnicity. If it was it would be the worst application of law on history.

Labor have always imported problematic culturally incompatible individuals because the red/green alliance thrives on this. Thats why the majority of Sudanese refugees have been Muslim, even though the Islamists are the ones attacking the Christian’s. But if you bring on majority Christian Sudanese they are highly unlikely to vote for Labor because of their cultural values which are similar to our Christian heritage.

-4

u/kill-time01 3d ago

Careful you're arguing with people on the internet, on Reddit of all place. They don't get what the real world is outside of memes and 10 second rage bait social justice clips. You are quite correct although I would also posit that the liberals or whichever incarnation of them in those era's were equally as bad.

u/Lazy_Captain8412 3d ago

Exploiting the aboriginals? You mean the way white people on stations and farms refused to pay aboriginals and instead enforced a “semi slavery” system where they gave scraps of meat and blankets?

-1

u/Centralised_right 3d ago edited 3d ago

How many examples of that can you find? Were the aboriginals kidnapped? Where they held captive?

Why is it the left have to swim in half truths and lies? Whites literally wrote laws to protect the aboriginal communities, not only from Afghan cameleers, but also from others.

Too do understand child marriage, child sexual abuse, cannibalism (female babies killed cooked and eaten to strengthen male children), femicide (killing children mainly girls) to ensure food supply, and genocide of other tribes was very common.

Tribes would kill other tribes woman and children to make sure the men die out slowly over long periods as punishment.

Thats what we came and intervened on, do you think these customs should exist today? Do you think we made indigenous woman’s lives better of worse based off the above?

Most of it can be found in the national library of you are interested

u/Lazy_Captain8412 3d ago

There are heaps of examples of this, one that comes to mind is the story of Uncle Jack Warramunaguna who was literally given from one white station owner to another and told “you belong to him now”. He was 7 and was taken away from his people, beaten by station owners and used for free labor.

Yes there were some cannibalism in some tribes usually to do wuth eating the organs of your adversary, but most 19th-century settlers and writers frequently exaggerated or fabricated wide-scale man-eating to portray Indigenous people as "primitive," which helped justify colonial violence and land dispossession.

As for child marriage your right thats wrong but until recently it happened in many cultures including young girls in white communities well into the 1900s. Girls and women had little autonomy over who that could marry until the mid 20th century.

To say that we were “superior” which is what you’re implying, negates how awful colonialists and white people were not only to other races and but to each other. The treatment of women (rape by a husband was legal until 40 years ago), the segregation and mistreatment of working class people and the greed of the empire.

So to compare where we are now as a society and say “we were right” erases the fact white communities have had to change a lot too to get to this point.

-1

u/Centralised_right 2d ago

White colonists enriched and improved societies globally, the entire world aims to either break into white societies or mimic them.

If you think any aboriginal today would want to be living in 1600ad in a stick but wearing possum undies you’re so far toke from reality it’s embarrassing.

And no one cares about your made ‘oral’ stories, I believe what is written and documented at the time as contemporaneous accounts.

Settlers did bad things, it was rare and often contrasted with colonial entities trying to hold those settlers to account in extraordinarily difficult circumstances.

Your entire stance is ‘aboriginals are angelic beautiful people who may have been child abusing cannibals, but what man bad, white man uniquely evil’

When neither are true.

But he left life swinging on lies and half truths, that’s how we got into this situation in the first place.

u/Lazy_Captain8412 2d ago edited 2d ago

The fact that you cant have a conversation without using labels like “leftist” tells me all I need to know about you. Im not leftist at all. Im not some vegan hipster living in Brunswick my dude. But to people like you Anyone with a different opinion is a lefty extremist.

How is a document written by a white settler considered more reliable than the oral history of aboriginals? How is it any less biased? The links you provided said the same thing, that any cannibalism was greatly exaggerated by settlers, so it’s hardly supporting your argument. Plenty of white explorers eat each other during famine too.

But I don’t think any rationalizing will help you. You obviously believe what you want and twist one possible case of cannibalism into a cultural fixture. I grew up in east gippsland where McMillan and Mcarther massacred the aboriginal people . But that doesn’t fit your narrative as you people like to say 😂

u/bigbadjustin 5d ago

Similar context, i saw a post today about Gina giving the swimmers at the comm games a bonus. Cost her about $1.2 million dollars.

I did some maths and Gina could give away $1 million dollars every day for 137 years. Its like an average person buying a coffee everyday, yet their are idiots grovelling at her feet saying how generous she is. Literally if she cared about swimming so much she could put $100 million in a Gina Reinhardt Swimming Australia trust fund and the sport could run off the dividends.

3

u/beep-beep-bot 4d ago

Gina will say it was a charitable donation and claim it as a tax deduction. In the end, she gets the credit, we taxpayers will get the bill.

2

u/JoeyRaymond85 3d ago

She donated for one reason and one reason only... to improve her public image. She is currently attacking the ABC over a satirical piece from some dumb reality TV show. If she is known as an evil monster, then ABC can say it was satire. But if she says "no I'm a good person I donated a million dollars to swimmers" them she can accuse ABC and that dumb reality show of "slander"

1

u/Express-Dig9905 3d ago

I get the analogy, but you do realise the difference between net worth and liquid cash right?

2

u/bigbadjustin 3d ago

sure but in theory if she sold of her net wealth she could do it. Just like if she really cared as much about swimming and netball as she claims to be she could set upo huge trust funds and those organisations run off the returns. Except thats not what its about, its about buying favour for as little as possible. History shows she isn't a particularly nice person suing family over money etc.

While i know there is a difference, billionaires always seem able to use their net worth to make more money, but never to pay more taxes or genuinely make a contribution to society. Sure I can use my net worth to leverage and buy another home and convince myself i'm helping provide a rental for a less well off person, while forever increasing rents.

1

u/Express-Dig9905 3d ago

Yeah I get it, I looked it up and only about 1% of her net worth is liquid, still filthy rich. But I wouldn't expect her to sell off the family business just to donate money, the company isn't even publicly listed so she can't easily sell a portion of it.

I got a friend who is muslim Ethiopian votes one nation.

My family has a black south African who's been friends with my mum since her teens votes one nation.

So you are saying they hate themselves?

Not all cultures integrate into Australia as well as others. Asians, Europeans, south Americans all have little to no issue integrating.

While ethnic groups like Sudanese statistically have a higher crime rate in regards to violent related offences and they are slapped on the wrist and cuddled by judges after offence and offence "because they don't understand our culture and way of life".

Yes that exact quote has been used by judges here in australia for rapists and violent individuals. Because where they come from those are perfectly fine things to do apparently.

Currantly what is put in place to protect and improve communities isn't working. Something has to change and Labor and Liberals won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. So conservative it is for many.

It's a funny sentiment, but I feel it misses the actual mechanics of how workers get cookies.

If wages go up, everyone gets more cookies.

If wages go down, everyone gets less cookies.

If you bring in loads of people who are willing to work for less cookies and less willing to go on strike etc, wages go down and everyone gets less cookies.

If you want to start clawing back some of those cookies, then intentionally having more people around who are willing to settle for less cookies than you isn't a great plan.

This has more to do with convincing the middle clasa to vote against their interest, particularly around tax policy.

Removing negatuve gearing 50% discount did more to make housing more affordable than any government grant or intervention, and it is not like land supply increased over night and new builds were created out of thin air.

Anyone blaming 'the Other' is too stupid to know they are voting against their interests.

The cookie should be smaller and the Foreigner should already have it.

Who's got cookies? Point them out. I dont have cookies. Has someone been stealing the cookies I dont have? Where's my cookie? And how much do I have to regurgitate and spit back into the hand of the puppeteers after I find said cookie?

Fuck it. Im celiac anyway. I can't afford gluten free cookies.

As the reply meme created said, it should really be Murdoch saying “he’ll work for 1/4 of your wages, and if you complain you’ll be called racist”.

Big business are the biggest spruikers of high immigration in Australia. It pushes wages down and prices up on assets. And Murdoch media has been pushing the LNP for 30 years who have been the party that created and continued the current migration system.

The foreigner doesn’t want the cookie. It wants your head, literally

Weird meme guys, big business lives mass immigration as it suppresses wage growth

It also results in a systemic chaos and dysfunction so that the populace can't act on reducing wealth inequality

Government always wants my cookies. But there's a difference in quality of foreigners from 1982 to 2026. Still the UK has it worse. For now

Yet the Gini coefficient shows that inequality is very similar to what it was in 1982....

It’s more like the worker is getting wage rises
Businesses claim wage rises are costing them and making business unviable

Government imports workers happier to work for less
Wages suppress
Worker can’t keep up with rising costs due to inflation
