Ignorance at its best.

A real shame. The Australian Political Party, “Family First” is calling for special tax breaks for first home buyers.

Basically it is trying to convince the government that we should allow first home buyers to make the interest on their first home tax deductable.

First. I am the biggest PROponent of cutting tax, on anything. I believe the government, state and federal, could trim huge amounts of fat from their coffers and afford the public huge tax cuts.

I am however very much against giving some persons definition of a battler tax breaks that not everyone is entitled to.

I live with my partner of 9 years, we are not yet married (I said “YET” M). We have no children. We have our “first home”. We also have an investment property. We both work our butts of. I manage several ecommerce businesses, my partner works in Microbiology. We go without plenty, we know we cant afford to have children and a quality of life we want now, so we wait, save our money, invest wisely and a little hoping for the best.

So, we were smart, didnt get married and pregnant young, worked hard, studied, didnt travel, go out every weekend, squander our money. Are we not entitled to the same tax deductions? Why not? What makes someone else more deserved than us?

See where I am going with this? Its wrong to give handouts, unfair advantages to the so called disadvantaged. What rubbish. I work and suffer and do the hard yards, only to fund someone who didnt have the discipline to do it themselves?

Tell me how that is fair.
