    From the same article:

    They just can't get their heads around the fact that it is a legitimate claim available to all to offset other income. Should we be applauding the scrapping of negative gearing because it mean the Feds can steal more of our money? :rolleyes:

    The distinction is true churchs/religions pay homage to an imaginary God while cults like Scientology pay homage to a crazy old farts beliefs about imaginary aliens.

    Those cults should be taxed out of existence

    The Old Testament is based on an ancient contact with an ET ... and "cults" like scientology is based on an ancient contact with an ET ... it's the distinction that is imaginary ...

    We need to implement a 15% GST now so people can stomach the jump to 20% later

    One correction. The alien creatures of the Old Testament (the Nephilim) were not ancient astronauts, an idea falsely propagated by Erich von Daniken. They came through "gates" which is indicative of beings from another dimension or parallel universe. If they came from a closely related parallel Earth then it would explain their genetic compatibility with humans and the successful interbreeding between us and them. They also have a 10% GST I heard.

    The Nephilim were the result of inbreeding between the "sons of god" and the daughters of men
    (Genesis 6:4) ... and tithing was fixed at 10% ...

    Actually you are correct, I had misremembered. The Nephilim were the result of the successful interbreeding of the "angelic beings" and humans.

    Raising the GST to 15% is a way of introducing an austerity measure without calling it that ...

    Isn't the public already stupid?
    When it was introduced in New Zealand we tried to warn you not to implement it here, but then
    nobody listens to kiwis anyway. :lol:
