Do you know how road tolls came about?
Do you realise how you have been tricked into paying them – when it’s not actually legal to pay tolls. A man in Sydney won a legal case and drives around not paying a cent in tolls.
Originally, when I was growing up, the only toll was 20 cents, to cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge, later $2 I recall.
We were told the tolls was used to pay for the bridge construction.
Then as new Sydney roads were built, more tolls were introduced, to pay for the roads, the government needed more money than our taxes, to pay for the infrastructure.
Except once the road was built and paid for, the tolls do NOT stop.
Instead, the road toll system was “privatised”, sold to private corporations, big businesses, who collect billions in tolls in cities every day. The whole idea was the toll paid for the road, now our toll money pays a corporation to get rich, to increase it’s wealth, profit at all costs
They barely pay TAX, often shifting profits into off shore companies, avoiding our tax system, supported and encouraged by governments
While you and I, we pay so much more than just income tax
GST in everything we buy
Fuel tax
Electricity tax
Alcohol tax
Every single bill you pay has tax included, renamed as fees etc. Hidden taxes are everywhere.
Why
Why are the people who collect our taxes not spending OUR money FOR us, on what ordinary Australians need.
Instead, our electricity prices are higher than ever, water, many other fees and charges squeezing our money tighter and tighter, making the biggest cost of living crisis we have had. It’s actually a cost of government crisis that we are experiencing.
They (government) do not pay as much tax like WE, politicians are also exempt from a lot of rules that they put on us.
They make the rules to suit them or exempt themselves from the laws.
Anyway, that’s only a start
I have a lot more to teach you, to point out, from my learned experience and wisdom
Much love to all
