Taxation loathing unites us


Death and taxes are considered inevitable and our loathing of the latter appears to jump income levels and political persuasion.

From this week's Essential Report:

61% think Australians pay too much tax and 28% think Australians pay about the right amount.

72% of full‐time workers think we pay too much tax but there were no significant differences by income level.

Labor and Liberal/National voters also gave similar responses.

...those opposed to increasing the GST outnumbered those in favour...

Increasing GST to pay off national debt was strongly rejected (66%).
