Congratulations for swallowing The Australian's propaganda in blaming those selfish families with kids for all that is wrong with the current tax system. I've seen the light, Jessica. We're obviously not doing it tough and I'll be heading straight out tomorrow to hand over my ill deserved Centrelink family assistance payments to any asset rich pensioners or investment bankers I meet. If I can be bothered going to work, that is. That massive plasma TV I bought with the baby bonuses makes it so tempting to stay at home, after all. [sigh] Here we go again.
