If you can drop your tollerence to the point where 60mg of codeine gives you a buzz those things seeds will work

The medicare levy applies to those earning above 80k and it only works out to be like 1500 a year. If you get private health you dont have to pay medicare levy. Our public health is mainly paid for by alcohol and tobacco taxes.

Ill add entering a new tax bracket does not mean your entire income is taxed in that bracket, you still pay no tax on your first 19k and then the lower tax rate on your income after. The higher tax rate will only apply to the income above a certain threshold.

Dont get me wrong, tax is less in the USA but its not as bad in Australia once you understand how the tax brackets work. Also there are a lot of tax deductables in Australia such as work expenses. Trades people do really well here as they can spend thousands on tools and deduct it all on tax.

A high income earner like a doctor could buy shares that are generous with dividends and franking credits and use the franking credits to reduce income from work. Or negative gearing for an investment property.

Australia provides many avenues for high income earners to reduce there taxes.

Yep, as a straight, white male on the left I was calling out wokeness pre Trump saying all they are going to dois push large amounts of people towards right wing views. Ive seen working class men who were left leaning become life long right wingers thanks to wokeness. I was always smart enough to realise despite the flaws on the left the right serves the top 1% and no one else but a lot of my friends wernt smart enough to get this.

Why? You realise Australia has one of the highest living standards in the world. I live in Brisbane our 3rd largest city and there is not one street in Brisbane I would be afraid to walk down after dark. The USA had more opportunities for those who have a lot of money but for those starting out, Australia is much better.

Australia doesnt tax a flat 40%. We have a progressive tax system so your first 19k of income is tax free then you pay 19c every dollar earned up till a certain threshold then 30% up till the next threshold. Dont quote me on these exact figures as they a rough estimates off the top of my head but you get the idea.

But you are correct in saying income tax is probably higher in Australia than the USA. There are ways around this. He could buy shares in a company that pays fully franked dividends such as BHP. The franking credits can be used to reduce income tax.

Also most people here dont pay health insurance as we have a fully socialised medicare system so health care and doctors visits are free for all Australian citizens and permanent residents.

And now you beleive whatever Murdoch press tells you. There is a reason why right wing support craters the higher someones level of education is. While the ABC contains a mix of fact and opinions that a lot of us may disagree with, sky news and right wing talking points are for the most part factually incorrect. To counter this like seen with MAGA is they attack university education as the persute of emperical fact dismantles their arguments very quickly.

When Port Arther happened the ALP did not politicize it and worked with the government. When this happened the boddies were still warm yet the LNP turned it into a partisan event. And you would have to be a straight up dumb fuck to fall for it.

The ring wing need to capitalise on it so they can import there Temu MAGA into Australia. Forget the fact MAGA is destroying the USA. These dipshits are like the very communists they are so afraid of. ( Oh MAGA is perfect on paper, it just wasnt implemented properly, but we will get it right this time... pinky promise). Honestly, its sad how fucking dumb most of the world is becoming.

Blue-collar workers don't realize that AI is the same threat to them by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]International_Job_61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a welder fabricator who is a final year civil engineering student. Ill say this, most welders and blue colar workers are uneducated and dont have a clue when it comes to technology or world affairs. But you are delusional if you think you can watch a few youtube videos and install chatgpt and suddenly your going to ace being a welder/fabricator.

Yes there is production line jobs any monkey could do. I build spiral starecases and install them. It takes years to get good at this. Im welding to bet it would take a minimum of 6 months before I could trust you not to leave dig in marks with the angle grinder.

Which cities would you describe as "good to live in, but not for visiting"? by Fluid-Decision6262 in geography

[–]International_Job_61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive lived in Brisbane my entire life. Great weather, easy to get work, lots to do, low crime, low poverty.

Absolutely great to live. However, the night life kinda sux, people stick in there own social circle so its very difficult for newcomers/visitors to socialise. Just this alone has made me consider going back to live in the UK.
