Many of you have probably already seen this at some time, but for those who haven't, here it is.
Something to ponder….
If I give you $1 billion and you stand on a street corner handing out $1 per second, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, you would still not have handed out $1 billion after 32 years!! Now read on
A VERY BIG NUMBER
This is too true to be funny.
The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians spending YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some
perspective in one of its releases.
A A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E. A billion Dollars ago was only 13 hours and 12 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.
WOW !!!
Now think about these things…..
- Stamp Duty
- Tobacco Tax
- Corporate Income Tax
- Income Tax
- Council Tax
- Fishing Licence Tax
- Petrol/Diesel Tax
- Alcohol Tax
- G.S.T.
- Property Tax
- Service charge taxes
- Social Security Tax
- Vehicle Licence / Registration Tax
- Vehicle Sales Tax
- Workers Compensation Tax
- Carbon Dioxide Tax
STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 60 years ago and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt.
We had the largest middle class in the world. Mum stayed home to raise the kids, Dad and teachers were allowed to discipline kids.
A criminal’s life was uncomfortable.
Boat people were kids sailing on the harbour.
What the hell happened?
'Political Correctness', ‘Politicians or both?' I hope this goes around Australia and beyond at least 100 times!"
….. My Comment:
NOW MULTIPLY EVERYTHING BELOW BY 1500 TO EQUAL THE 1.5 TRILLION DOLLAR (1500 Billion) DEBT LIBS AND LABOR WITH GREENS SUPPORT HAVE RACKED UP.
