        Nuts, absolutely nuts! “Trickle down” doesn’t work... it’s actually “Trickle up” from low and middle income earners to the very rich. And saddles our grandchildren with more debt. @ScottMorrisonMP @KellyODwyer @MathiasCormann #auspol #estimates

        Our democracy is somewhat functional so good luck passing a similar atrocity without any scrutiny through our parliament.

        Again @rupertmurdoch shows which side he is on...his own. @GOP tax bill should be called ‘billionaire welfare support’ or just ‘treason of the people’. The only question is when will the riots begin #auspol #usapoli #taxdisaster #EconomicAbuse #stupidity #inequality

        Rubbish. Just because the US govt is a bunch heartless bastards aimed ensuring the rich get richer - Australia should follow more humane tax policy, unlike the current one
