Mojo ♻️In a nation where 66 millionaires paid zero tax, the real scandal isn't just their avoidance, it's the system that enables it. The laws and loopholes that protect the wealthy while everyday Australians foot the bill must be challenged. While everyday citizens work hard to keep our nation moving, the rich exploit legal grey areas, benefiting from perks like negative gearing and franking credits. When the rules favour the wealthy over the public interest, it's a direct attack on fairness. These investment incentives, originally meant to stimulate growth, have morphed into tools that deepen the gap between the haves and have-nots. Our society deserves a tax system that funds essential services without rewarding greed. The rising wealth gap is no accident—it's engineered by policies that let millionaires dodge their fair share. It’s time to reimagine a system where the affluent contribute their due to support our schools, hospitals, and infrastructure.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/Auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Auspol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Accountability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Accountability</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TaxTheRich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TaxTheRich</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PolicyChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PolicyChange</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TaxJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TaxJustice</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ClassWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClassWar</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/EconomicEquality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EconomicEquality</a><a href="https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/some-millionaires-pay-no-tax-in-australia-but-they-may-not-be-the-worst-tax-dodgers/b31sowxu2" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/some-millionaires-pay-no-tax-in-australia-but-they-may-not-be-the-worst-tax-dodgers/b31sowxu2</a>

It's impressive to see such proactive measures in addressing housing issues. Unfortunately, in Australia, we're not yet ready to adopt similar policies. There's a significant amount of reluctance and greed that hinders progress. It's a stark contrast to the egalitarian steps taken by other societies.
