^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AHMEN TO THE ABOVE Our banks handled their own affairs well,had nothing to do with any input from the Govt. The biggest thing they have contributed is a template to marketing companies on how to Run an effective marketing campaign and brain wash the masses.though the majority have now snapped out of their dream of contentment. The Truth lays bare the incompetent nature of all Liars sooner or later
Ohh yippie you cute thing, you remind me of that squeally jack russel... initially apealling... but in a mad frenzy misses the point, in the act of trying impress at a crowded barbeque. Let me tickle your tum... I agree, (read you agree). So my comments was... "Terms of trade are at record highs"..... yet they are still e-ffing it up. The mal-investment of the state and size of the state is the problem (yeaaas woof woof... i know.. i know..). The apparatus being created to regulate us more, is in result to the mal-investment. but hey, sometime's i'd just pick the thing up and lob it over the fence into the neighbor's pool.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what Redback said... i guess some are real slow to catch on
my apologies to you mate - a second read put it in focus the only reason i didnt get it the first time (that you were being sarcastic) is because i'd just been sifting through all the horsesh1t being spouted by our resident commies... the stuff you say in jest - their deranged minds actually believe to be fact :lol: apologies once again
@yky Dude, I agree on how lame the current govt is. All I am saying is, as lame as they are, there are some policies in place from previous governments that is now not working very well for us. Negative gearing was excellent when property was cold and it will in theory keep working as long as the value is stable or continuously increases. Now, not so great, because there was no policy to counter the effects of RE becoming investment tools (subject too boom bust cycle). RE too hot, housing becomes issue and wealth is exposed to RE heavily, putting most Australian's wealth at risk if RE were to really pop.
I pissed myself for the rest of the arvo when the girls would scream... 'eeewww yuk, why is the dog so wet'.
They dont do well with their own businesses because most of them wouldnt know the first thing about what it means to run a business and create wealth and employment for others. all they know is how to be parasites - sucking on the teat of big government - beaurocrats and other government workers or else they've come up through the union movement.
"Facing the GFC" and carrying on down the proven death-end path of Keynsian politics (i wont flatter it by putting it in proximity with "economics") are two entirely different things. They (and all other numnut socialist western governments) chose the latter of the two. The Libs said they would not have and i believe them. There is a difference in ideology at work here - big government loving socialists who believe that it is the job of the government to intervene/meddle in the economy and control everything by flipping switches and pulling levers versus those supporting small government and free markets who believe that government should stay the hell out of the economy because all they do is frack it up
yippi said "You're as delusional as your Fabian scumbag leaders" .................. phooey Your mother wears army boots.
..Holding hands over mouth.OMG!!!!!!!! This surely is a joke post.You have to be a liberal supporter deep down having a lend???? 100 times a better party?????? Now if they gave us ordinary hard working Aussie's who don't have time to scratch any more~ 100 times the Surplus the Liberals gave us.Peter "I WOULD CROSS THE FLOOR AND SING LABOUR HYMS". Every one in the Labour Party should be made to Run a small Business to prove their Micro economic competency before becoming a full Minister. I bet my Soul 95% would go bankrupt in the first year. Until your signing your own checks,paying the bills,wages,utilities,taxes,penalties,going to arbitration,getting sued,losing money,putting yourself out their and taking the risksFrankly you have no idea what the hell your talking about. Its a piece of cake playing with other peoples money at least with Howard i had the sense that he actually understood the Financial dilemma's faced by both Business people and workers. UFB REDBACK
Well said on the business front redback .When its your money on the line you tend to look at things differently.
+ 1 That's pretty much what the Opposition suggested Rudd and his gang do - instead of posting off $900 cheques and spending billions on grossly overpriced school halls and the likes - they suggested that the only kind of "stimulus" which was desirable and would work was to reduce taxes. But NOOoooooo ... the Fabians could not resist going down the moronic path of "Keynsiasm" - the Socialist's Friend !!
NOPE they're all a bunch of government loving, centralist control freeks who think that governments need to meddle to fix everything - when all they end up doing is f..ing everything up! They're all parasites feeding off the productive economy and dont know the first thing about wealth creation. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T42dwytlPjU[/youtube]
As an owner of small business, (retail and manufacturing) I can see very clearly the damage that this government is doing, and the employees are suffering as much as the business owners. Gillard has publicly stated that she wants to end casual employment in Australia in order to give workers "assurance in their jobs". What planet is she on? Sundays have been changed from time and a half to double time, all that has happened is that staff don't get to work on Sundays any more, the net effect being lower income for them each week and stress for business owners. Everything that Gillard's government does reduces the quality of life for employees, never mind employers. Labour governments are genetically wired to assume that employers are always greedy and exploitive, and they cause a trail of destruction because of this with retarded counter productive legislation. So many employers care about their staff and understand how important their staff are, and both business owners and staff suffer because of Labour's obsessive desire to crush any kind of business and to legislate every aspect of people's working lives into a combative us-and-them divide between employers and employees.
as long as that next election occurs before those lying imbeciles put through that moronic carbon tax which will f.. this economy up good and proper! the barstads have done more than enough damage already dont ya think??
Renovator I remember being part of a family business and being extremely frustrated When The boss would not part with money to fund the latest and greatest idea to become flavour of the month in our industry. I spent many hours frustrating over the lack of Latest tools that we didn't have~and wisely( ) complained endlessly..because i knew it all. I remember demonstrating wisely over many issues only to be told "When you run your own business you will understand"Man was my Boss ignorant why wouldn't he listen to the all knowing all seeing experienced employee!!! I finally took the plunge 'many years ago now'..and to my great surprise had to rethink every aspect of the same job i had been doing for many years The great financial sage that i thought i was had to crawl back in the hole and start from scratch and for the first time in my life had to weigh up the Financial long term risks of every decision i made..I just couldn't rely on someone else to supply me with a risk free wage every week!! Did i make mistakes Plenty! Did i get it right the first time Defiantly not! Did it give me a healthy respect for money~Defiantly Yes!! And therein lies the fault of Most ministers~They are not emotionally attached to the money they have access to and therefore can afford to be Flippant,Risky,Away at the Helm,Plain ignorant of the field or area the money is supposed to be used in and don't have to operate in the markets that the rest of us Survive or Sink in.
