    No.

    Boomers aren’t very popular for plenty or reasons, but aged care is flush with cash and pay their staff shit, and treat the ailing as consumables - the quicker they die the quicker they can get another body into their spot and grift more.

      All this crap shouldn’t even have been privatised in the first place. The recent Royal Commission should’ve demonstrated that. Essential healthcare shouldn’t be left up to for-profit companies.

    Should the wealthy pay more fore everything?

    Fancy car? Extra $2 per litre to fill it, extra $500 for a service (you can afford it)

    Expensive clothes? Extra 50% tariff on dining out.

    High income? 50% loading on electricity and gas, groceries, haircuts etc.

    Obvious and obligatory / s

    I am not rich by any means (I have a car I pulled from a paddock and fixed, my clothes are from big w and opshops) but I dont begrudge those who have accumulated wealth, other than those who have done it by dodging taxes or by rorting the system.

    Maybe instead of stinging the rich to make others rich encourage philanthropy to lift up the least fortunate in society.
