The issue of housing in Australia has for decades grown like a cancer, infecting the economy and causing pain and suffering, without any remission.

Without something drastic…

bothyourhouses.org

We’re just asking for some of the generous tax arrangements that have distorted the housing market for decades to be addressed and maybe make Australia better.

Surely it’s not that hard?

bothyourhouses.org

We’re not asking for the extraordinary economy twisting wealth to be taxed at rates exponentially the equivalent of the average tax payer.

We know that is impossible.

Being rich, comfortable, healthy and safe is not enough.

You must be applauded, adulated, maybe even worshipped for your skills and genius for amassing wealth and comfort.

I mean it’s better than curing cancer or saving lives isn’t it?

bothyourhouses.org

Remember kids being rich is not enough.

Not having to worry about house payments, paying your rent, your electricity, your car registration, your insurance, even your food bills. Not having to worry about where your next meal may come from is not enough.

Housing recovers?

Sure dude.

So how many who also are against Migration will want to start deporting people?

You okay with that?

How many you want to deport?

You know, as an extra reward for using the system to make them rich

Sure, it’s a little like indentured servitude (slavery) but it’s more palatable than making the value of their houses go down for the first time in decades, isn’t it?

If you don’t agree with us with we have a different idea

A “Lifters and Leaners” proposal

Everyone who owns more than 3 homes gets an unemployed person to do whatever they want them to do for a whole year

Look, we all know you are doing for free what so many in Australia earn money from doing, so seriously, you are such a bloody bargain.

But lets get to it, how many people do you think we'd need to deport for your rent to come down?

Million?
Two?
Three?
Five?

Your turn

All I can say is that you are a bargain.

It doesn't matter any other factor, rich people ripping you off, hate mongers encouraging racism against foreigners, governments underfunding infrastructure, you cost nothing to toe the common line about immigrants ruining the housing market

Bon Chance

The top 1% of tax payers own 25% of rental properties.

Not sure where immigration comes into it but generous tax concessions that support investors do.

But sure, ignore getting hosed by landlords who are making bank all you like

So you are getting ripped off by landlords too?

And you think the issue is because people are coming into the country and not the unequal tax conditions that allow people to pay less tax on owning 17 houses than wages so they can corner the market and drive up prices as they park their millions?

So how low do you think the population needs to be to deal with the fact that the Billionaire class would never properly fund infrastructure that benefits them?

20 million?

15 Million?

How much population control do you need to get the right numbers after deporting all the brown people?

Ahhh, so you agree Privatisation is a bad idea and costing the average Australian far too much money.

So where does immigration come into it, or do you think the people making money from exploiting you are not the same sort of rich powerful people who lorded over you since the First Fleet?

Over 88% of the time Job Providers achieved nothing despite the enormous amount of money they bill taxpayers

But sure, immigration is the problem

Gullible as fuck

brutalised and murdered as many of the First Nations people who were here in the first place.

Australia was founded under the boot & other than some bright moments has just changed the boot for something expensive & fashionable luxury brand that still hurts when they decide to increase the pressure

No, we’re a fucking stupid country sucked in by the same simplistic myths as most of the white majority ex-British colonies are while we are lorded over by a bunch of different power brokers than the ones who were running this place as a prison colony after having attacked,

which we barely care about except when it comes to home ownership, interest rates and taxes, were either directly or indirectly responsible for.

No we cannot afford to let more people into this country because we are gullible rubes who actually believe it’s not the rich people making bank off our backs screwing us at every turn, it’s the immigrants and refugees that our government policies,

The people who can own up to 17 houses, who can make immense profits selling house after house after house making commissions at every turn and beholden to a system that drives a never ending cycle of debt that we all pay for no matter who is in power or who is allowed into the country or not.

The people who profit immensely from not having mining company profits taxed too highly. The people who profit from having a basic duopoly in the grocery sector that makes some of the highest profits on the planet.

has multiple stores for every global luxury brand you can imagine, let alone all the luxury and supercar dealerships any child of the 1970’s could never imagine on these shores.

No, it’s not that. It’s that the rich people who own this country won’t have it.

Of course we have to accept that a country that took in so many post World War Two, so many post The Vietnam War, couldn’t possibly take in even a tenth of that number now.

Not because we can’t afford it, Australia has over 30 Billionaires, has mansions that sell for multimillions' in every state,

Imagine if you could change tax policy in Australia and stop the damage being done to Housing Affordability with no change in Immigration.

Make some of the racist isolationist talking points mute wouldn’t it?

Hey Unions and Local Councils of Australia, have an opinion on housing in Australia?

Cause we do

bothyourhouses.org

End all funding every single private employment services provider.

Salt the earth so those in change of them never get any public money ever again - run them out of the country.

Get rid of mutual obligations

Bring back the CES

Raise the fricken rate

Ain’t hard.

Excellent thread
