        The folly of a political mouthpiece funded by the public. A great chance was missed to educate instead of spewing biased opinion.

        So educate me Steve. What is the point of giving a tax cut to companies paying little OR no tax? Where is the evidence that trickle down economics works?

        You're not answering my questions Steve. BTW I did read the article and agree with the economics experts that it should not have been taken down. For some reason truth embarrassing the neoliberals.

        You aren't answering my question. My point on bias, read that. Lots of one sided tax payer funded opinion. Your economists v. mine... it will go nowhere. BTW who am I debating? I am not keen on discussing with people who hide their identity, good to know who I am taking to.

        Don’t you need some sort of post graduate degree to be titled an ‘economist’? Like a Grad Dip or membership to a finance body or to be a stockbroker, or something legit?

        Yeah, companies making money, a shame that. Hard to write an article bleating about tax avoidance of all of your targets are losing money. Still, never something ABC need concern itself with.

        Too bad @abcnews @albericie article had credibility flaws, so, rightly removed for either rewrite or full removal. See later news reports re story egTue 20th @Australian Mon 18th @FinancialReview . #Buyapaper & read article. Support #journalism #ABC must be accountable #auspol

        🤭she’s a millennial 🤨she’s a bit long in the tooth to be gen y ? sure she’s not an Xer 🤣no body admits to being gen x 😂 every one wanted to be gen x in the late 90s; it was nauseating. Aw we’re not a nation of philanthropist, the trickle down is a myth; Pay your taxes!
