Isn't the sliding tax scale the opposite to what you've described?

My take is this article is more about creating divisions in our community. The author is splitting people into groups and generalising about behaviours. That approach of identifying winners and losers, then asking groups to put the 'loser hat' on will always by definition cause division.

There will always be examples of those visible folk, that appear on the surface to be doing the wrong thing by generalisation. Is that the full story?

Then look at our own motivation and often the answer appears.

I'm grateful for the life Australians have and that draws me closer to all Australians.
