Welfare, Superannuation & Working Class in Australia

[o0POSH0o]

why do people talk about welfare that poor people receive? what about middle class welfare? what about corporate welfare and the bailing out of companies that screw up? stop picking on poor people........

Excuse me but it is the system who invented unemployment and not the working class. They are the ones who sack you when they no longer need you and the ones who close down factories and shops when it is not profitable. Working class has no control over economic life.

Australian compulsory super is the biggest fraud forced onto the average citizens.

It is only for the benefit of the money managers, as pointed out on haiwlspoint

Is the welfare system in Austalia more fair than in the U.S. ? Does Australia have a huge homeless problem like the U.S. ?

Why cant you claim ur super early on the ground that you are gonna kill urself soon if you dont get it - so u wont be around to collect it if u wait!

To the average bear struggling to make ends meet, superannuation is the last god-damn thing theyd be worrying about. To me, super is nothing but a god-damn load of bullshit that will only end up really benefiting the wealthy paper shuffling money hungry sons of bitches.

I cant see welfare being scrapped at all. It's our working class people's lifeline

I am a weapons designer specialist. I got $500 from social security at the start of the month (My rent is $800 a month). I got two days work and $400 after tax but I would not get paid this until the end of the month. My phone is $100 a month, fuel is $200 a month, electricity, gas and water another $100. Interest on my credit card and back fees $50. $150 to see the doctor to treat my depression, Hecs repayments, Car registration, frustration induced speeding fines. Fair go.

Australia is a fking socialist waste dump

TURN YOUR SUPER TO CASH NOW UNLESS YOU WANT TO RETIRE ON CHURCH MONEY AND EAT PAL. Feb2k9

THE OWNERS OF THE 'PRIVATE' FEDERAL RESERVE. ie Influential bankers...not government. This is a farce propgated by the government. Start with Rothschilds...they who own 550Trillion of global wealth...so you the serf/debt slave can keep their power trip alive. Obama can do nothing other than give money to the crack addict companies. Ron Paul had the answer...ABOLISH THE FED.

I wouldn't call this Socialism, rather simplify it as the Welfare State - nothing more. I wouldn't mind $1000 though.
