taxes are unconstitutional!

Before the beginning of the first Constitutional Convention in Sydney in 1891, Sir Henry Parkes originally proposed the following resolution:
“

That the trade and intercourse between the Federated Colonies, whether by means of land carriage or coastal navigation, shall be free from the payment of Customs Duties, and from all restrictions whatsoever, except from such regulations as may be necessary for the conduct of business.[3]
”

At the Convention itself, the wording of the resolution that was presented was altered to read:
“

That the trade and intercourse between the Federated Colonies, whether by means of land carriage or coastal navigation, shall be absolutely free.[4]

Currently, Section 92 states (in part) that:
“ On the imposition of uniform duties of customs, trade, commerce, and intercourse among the States, whether by means of internal carriage or ocean navigation, shall be absolutely free.[11]

Free trade policies generally promote the following features:

Trade of goods without taxes (including tariffs) or other trade barriers (e.g., quotas on imports or subsidies for producers)
Trade in services without taxes or other trade barriers

who gives a shit about australia

intercourse

hehe

“ On the imposition of uniform duties of customs, trade, commerce, and intercourse among the States, whether by means of internal carriage or ocean navigation, shall be absolutely free.[11]

So that actually says 'You (the gov) are free to impose uniform duties on trade and commerce among the states'?

even when the section is called 92. Trade within the Commonwealth to be free

So what the hell do you call a tax, if not a fee on trade..?

It's a pretty shitty constitution really =)
All it does is rattle on about how self-important the parliament is

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Australia is a value added tax of 10% on most goods and services transactions. GST is levied on most transactions in the production process, but is refunded to all parties in the chain of production other than the final consumer.

Wouldn't that just artificially inflate the price at every step, and pass all the extra cost to the consumer?

Why is this programming?

>>11
Deprogramming?

It's funny though.. When you leave school you need to either be earning or learning... No youth allowance for 6-8 months
But look at the tax rates for >18's... it's like 30% for every dollar over $400, and 65% over ~$1200....
Nice introduction to having your money stolen?

What about a +1% tax per 100,000$ earned throughout ones lifetime?
once you've earned 1 mill you pay 10% on earnings etc etc ^^

How about a flat tax rate that is the same for all levels of income?

Without taxes there would be no welfare. You must be some racist retard.

Check your fucking privilege, coprophagous lord.

There is no welfare. Only taxes..
Unless you're a government employee ^^

Old hockey hopped up on telly, and says 'it takes a worker one month to pay welfare (one welfare check i'm assuming)'....
I took one look at his suit and thought "i wonder how many months that is worth.."
