Shouldn't everyone pay the same tax rate? Whether rich or poor. If your income per annum is over 20k then everyone gets taxed at same percentage. Why is it different for different earners?
I agree. we just need rich people and big business to pay their share. the infrastructure and labour of our country allows them to make the money. They should pay up or come the revolution we shall eat them!
Wealth or poverty is one issue BUT Older voters are the baby boomers, the largest powerful voting group in 2019, so all parties tread carefully , you dont want to step on their super mines.

BHP foots $82m tax bill, ATO wins 'top up tax' appealBHP will have to pay more tax after the Federal Court allows an appeal by the Australian Taxation Office against the world's biggest miner. Really!? We need to simplify our tax laws and stop this blatant abuse of tax loop-holes by big business. Any business selling Australian commodities should be paying tax on the income from that sale, not the profit, which is often hidden through complex corporate structures. Is tax being paid on 100% of the profits made from the raw product, coal, that was mined in Australia, regardless of how that coal is sold to an overseas market.
