Another Howard Lie (Mannie De Saxe)

John Howard stated on radio on Thursday or Friday, 2 or 3 September 2004, that his government had provided tax cuts for low income earners, and that everyone had had tax cuts.

He seems to have forgotten that age pensioners such as my partner and me pay tax by virtue of the GST, and, rather than receiving any tax cuts, our taxes have, in fact, gone up, because goods at supermarkets and elsewhere have risen in price and our GST payments have increased accordingly!

So, another John Howard lie!
