Tax cuts

Tax cuts, the only topic that will cause most citizens to unite in demanding for that extra $5 a week. In the last Australian Financial year, the average Joe recieved an average of about $5-$7 extra a week in future tax cuts. Most people in the know would probably hae had this money spent elseshere where collectively the $5*5million*52 =13billion may solve quite a few national problems; medicare, infrastructure etc etc. It has never seized to amaze me how we as citizens will forget all about the queueing time in public hospitals whenever the Treasurer announces more tax cuts, we die for this cuts.

Budget surplus----please define

Simply put if you spend less than you had planned for, then you have a surplus. Use this same principle when addressing a project engineer and you may end up forming part of the concrete slab if he happens to be a constructions project engineer. A budget surplus should ideally be what is left after a service has been delivered at a lesser cost but while quality has not been compromised. National surplus, I bet you've had to queue in a hospital, hopefully not holding onto your guts as you wait for the doctor. How many times have you been to a government office and found fewer than cival servants staff? But no! We want that extra $5 for a Happy Meal at the local Mc D's, $5 for health care benefits?

Australia has announced a possible $12 billion dollar surplus, have they paid the national debt roughly 10 times that surplus. Have you been provided with all essential services? Am not talking about welfare, but essential services that governments ought to provide for you taxes. Next time a budget surplus is announced, followed by possible tax cuts, put your thinking cap on. Has the governmet fulfilled its obligations, delivered services without compromising on quality. If they have, then maybe your entitled to that extra serve of fat at Mc Ds, Hungry Jacks, KFC or whatever catches your eye. But then again, it's people like you that clog our hopsitals with obese related ailments that the real health issues are not addressed. Am sick, am Fat. Back to surplus and deficit, think about it.
