Flood levy

So if you earn over $50 000 in Australia as of July you will be paying about $1 a week extra in tax. The more you earn, the more you pay.. we are talking 1/2%- 1% of your income- if you earn over $50 000.

This new tax, that will only go for 12months  will go to help victims of the recent flood nightmare in QLD ands to help basically rebuild QLD. The costs of the flood is close to $6 Billion.I also think some of this money needs to go to VIC too and Northern NSW.

Millions of animals needed rescuing and I love this beautiful very Australian image.

WHY THE F#CK are people complaining about this??? How could they? I am happy to pay more!! It honestly makes me sick to my stomach that people are complaining about this. And Tony, if I hear you whingeing about it, just for the sake of it, just because you feel like you have disagree with Julia over EVERYTHING, I may resort to violence*.

WHY are people complaining about this??? I don't understand!!!?? Am I missing something??


* when I say violence I mean like perhaps a "You are a a big meany Tony" cross stitch.
