Tax scales
I've chosen to create a new topic because I am unable to comment on topics raised by YLC. Monday's topic about how tax cuts are unfair to women is stretching statistics to its absolute limit. The argument is based on the fact that the highest earning income group is mainly men. So, because there are more men than women in that group then the argument is that women are losing out on tax cuts.
Tax cuts have traditionally been made by percentage, not a dollar amount, so if there is a fairer way to adjust the tax scales I have yet to see it. The article also tries to say that Labor doesn't support the tax cuts for the highest earning group when the truth is that Labor has agreed to support the tax cuts even though they once had one member disagree with them.
To put all of this in perspective, both men and women have received, or will receive, an equal tax cut based on their income. As the tax cuts are percentage based it neither advantage or disadvantage any particular group. An argument about males versus females could be made that more female teachers and nurses are receiving tax cuts as their male counterparts. The article by YLC is factual but doesn't disclose the full story.
I cannot see why personal income tax should be higher than company tax.
There is nothing to stop women from going into jobs with lower tax cut positions.
