Australia has an incredibly vast bureaucracy (and much of its citizenry) wedded to the gross stupidity that there is some sort of social responsibility to pay taxes, and slowly but surely over the years we have progressed this manner of organised public theft into law. The phenomenon of periods of social instability and financial collapse we experience every eighteen years or so is neither the fault of capitalism nor of socialism per se, but of a sorely misguided revenue system. |
