Being a self funded retiree, having owned a buiness and employing people, paid a lot of tax over the years since I left school, I applied for a seniors health care card, the card arrived with the following letter saying that my adjusted income must be less than $50,000 if single, $80,000 if a couple, or $100,000 if you are separated due to ill health, respite care, or GET THIS because your partner is in GOAL!!!!, what is this country coming to?..............so the thing I now have to decide is, do I get the wife to do the crime and time and get free board and lodging plus get paid while in goal?

We self funded fools are a pain for the Govt. They can't rip much in the way of taxes off us and we still vote. What a bl**dy cheek we have !
I'm sick of not being ancient enough to have any cards, hell I look old enough (do I ever !) and am retired ! (medically somewhat early) No rebates, carsds or freebies etc.
If you cut me, do I not bleed ? etc etc :))
Once upon a time your taxes were supposed to pay for your old age pension. (strange concept in these days of I'm all right Jack)
The Govt has sold of public assets, refused to index the threshold of tax, and shifted the burden of social services back onto the community (user pays) while letting infrastructure run waaay downhill (eg hospitals, Medicqare GAP payments etc)
Then they have the cheek to say hey we're so good this year that we can return some of your taxes ..of course we'll decide who to.
And we don't even raise an eyebrow.
And to all those weenies who rekkon I'm just an old whinger, remember that Grey Power isn't a washing powder!

I think some of you might have missed the point, what I was saying was, that if you are a law abiding couple you can earn up to $80,000..... BUT..... if you OR your partner is in GOAL you can earn up to $100,000 so where is the logic or justice in that?

It sure isnt the intention of the NWO handlers who control the finance system that any should have a reasonable amount upon which to live.
They can crash any market they wish whenever they wish so until then have a bit under the pillow or front seat & enjoy!
Our next PM could well be that known member of the Council of Foreign Relations & money men PC (not politically correct!)
We are not intended to enjoy our lives. Malcolm Fraser even said so, so I guess he was right!
