We need to cut back on you people anyways
Questions:
1) if australia's high taxes are supposed to cover health care, why does the ATO levy an additional 1% levy if you dont have private cover when earn more than 50K?
2) if you have free health care, why do you need private hospital cover?
3) why do these private health coverages cost so much?
4) why are waiting times to get health care so long in australia?
5) why are cars 3X the price of the US?
6) why is petrol so much cheaper in the US? why is australia petrol so much higher?
7) why is food so much higher in australia than the US?
8) how come the US has so many cheap houses and prices are falling when the opposite is true of australia?
9) how come the US allows you to deduct mortgage interest on your primary home on your taxes and australia does not?
10) how come labor/services is 300% higher in australia than th US?
11) how come 2.5 million people applied to become citizens in the US last year when Australia only saw a small increase?

That's true. Aussie Prick is speaking the truth backed by factual evidence.If this is true than of course there is current advantage to America over Australia

The only answer I can give is that Australia is a ripoff!
Sound to me like some of you Singaporeans are having a hard time adjusting to PAP-less living ... UK, USA, Australia, Canada and NZ
Better return to nanny Singapore.
Meanwhile, I will be attending a house-warming of an ex-Singaporean family who decided to stay on and enjoy the good life here.

In Australia, despite all the generous safety nets, policies and actions by govt to minimise homelessness, some people are still homeless by choice.
Bingo ! These homeless ppl claim 1k per mth.
You just state something wrong. Now, Arse-se prick will get jealous.
Well, I am telling the truth.. Sometimes the truth hurts.. Australians pampered "choice".. where developing countries don't have a choice.. unless they start to export bananas.. heehee
Its so nice to see I was correct.....again
