Letter to Australian Treasurer

[jack404]

Dear Mr. Swan,

Please find below our suggestions for fixing Australia 's economy.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to our banks, who we know will only
squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following
plan.

You can call it the "Absolute Retirement Plan" or the ARP for short.

There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force today.
Pay them each $1 million severance for early retirement with the following
stipulations:

1) They MUST retire, 10 million job openings
= Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new Australian car, 10 million cars ordered
= Car Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage
= Housing Crisis fixed.

4) They MUST pay off 1 of their credit cards/personal loans
= Credit Crisis fixed.

5) They MUST send their kids to school/TAFE/university
= Education/Crime rate fixed

6) They MUST buy at least $250 WORTH of alcohol a month......there's your
money back in duty/tax etc.

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, please have all members of parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses, second home allowances & grossly over
abundant retirement packages...

P.P.S. If more money is needed stop importing immigrants that never work in thier life and cost us a average of $80,000 a year or allow us to have our guns back to defend ourselves from these sleazes, if caught in the act we could reduce the social security bill by 50% a year based on ABS statistics of crime

If you think this would work, please forward to every Australian you know.
If not, please disregard.

Yours sincerely,

The Whole durn Country

I wonder if that would work here in the U.S.

Just another one of those things that make you go hmmm.

Ya know Jack, its such a simple plan but it would never work b/c there isn't enough legal BS and other things tagged on to it that have nothing to do with it. I like it, the rest of us would like it too but its not nearly complex enough for the govt to understand it. Add about 10,000 words to it and about 1000 loopholes to it and you got yourself a plan.

Minimum of 2,000 pages.
When I read the orig. post I wondered if he may be talking about here in the States. Sounds exactly the same to me.

Hell Jack thats a great plan, got my vote!!!!!

[jack404]

why copy existing rules made by lobbyists

the whole point is to get away from the lobbyist mentality and results

watching the US PBS news they explained 17,300+ ( exact number i forget) loop holes for rich folks and companies

81 lawful deductions for regular folks .. why??

rich folks and big companies can afford lawyers and lobbyists to get themselves loopholes, regular folks cant

a level playing feild is whats needed

but we aint got it so your representatives are not regular folks but rich folks who look after thier friends and rarely help the little guy, in fact they cant afford to help the little guy, if joe sixpack got loopholes too there's not enough tax money going in to support and pay for the lawyers who work for minorities , immigrants, illegals and all those other folks who now have more rights to your tax dollars than you do

let alone social security payments

wage increases for politicians or the spin meisters the government hires at huge dollars ( $520,000 a year for make up artist for the whitehouse, ps he's a aussie fag, sorry.. used to do nicholl kidman's face now he does Bo Bo and family and the US taxpayer by default who is paying him...)

someones gotta pay taxes

and thats the ones who cant afford all the tricks to not pay

you..

cheers

There was a similar plan for the US with numbers to match that circulated on the www a while back. It made too much sense to ever be taken seriously.

It's a noble thought, but the numbers don't work.

True -
10 million people getting a million each is 10 TRILLION dollars.
