Index Personal Tax Scales for Government Integrity
  We are yet again seeing the lack of integrity of our politicians as the Prime Minister breaks an absolute promise made in seeking an election victory.   Increasing taxes on people’s hard-earned income by stealth is dishonest, yet all politicians continue the practice. One that continues to shrink family budgets and the incentive to work hard and get ahead.   Australia needs a nationwide discussion of broadscale tax reform. A discussion that draws the community together to agree on a tax system that is equitable and able to fund the society that we wish to have.https://www.ideaspies.com/posts/an-opportunity-to-help-families-get-ahead
