'We've reached a breaking point': Is it time to tax older Australians more? - Leminal Space

Wait, wtf is this article SBS?? Why TF is the suggestion to tax older Aussies instead of making the corpos actually pay their fair share. Holy shit liberals will literally throw our older Aussies in the fucking bin before they consider implementing progressive taxation. Ffs, if Australia nationalised our mining sector, Aussies would be the richest citizens on earth! But nah fuck all that hey, better to just squeeze and squeeze and squeeze till the only option left is extreme violence.
There is a balance between not taxing our resources (Australia) and overtaxing or nationalising them (Venezuela). I’m guessing something like Norway levels would be good.
Why Norway instead of Alaska or Saudi Arabia? We could afford universal basic income for all Aussies easily if we nationalised our raw resources. What balance are you trying to strike here? Worried we’ll run out of oligarchs or smth?
