Australia: "Women pay tax at three times the rate men do"

Submitted by GaryB on Fri, 2007-05-04 13:01

Recent research in Australia has shown that - astoundingly - women are paying tax at THREE TIMES the rate that men are. My god, does the horrendous attrocities women have to face never cease...?!

QUOTE:"MOTHERS do 70 per cent of the housework and more than 90 per cent of the childcare. Now it seems they're also paying tax at three times the rate of their husbands.

A tax symposium was told Australia has one of the most sexist systems in the world and it could be part of the reason we're facing a skills crisis.

Why is it that the male primary earner in a family on average pays just 10.3 per cent of his income in tax but his wife loses on average 32.7 per cent if she goes out to work?"

Of course it's complete crap, just feminazi juggling of figures to grab headlines and help attack men even more. Feel free to add your comments at the end and let them know just what utter bollocks this is....

Sounds like more feminist nonsense masquerading as facts. Either ignore it or debunk it.

"In Sweden married women work 75 per cent of the hours worked by married men, in the UK 62 per cent of male hours, and in the US 57 per cent. "

Of course this point will be glossed over entirely by anyone who picks up the story.

Also this is saying more about families with 2 working parents. Of course if a stay-at-home dad decided to go back to work the family would suffer identical "hardships".

Finally this isn't about paying a higher tax, this is about getting less benefits from the government. It's utterly shocking to some people that if you're earning more money, the government is going to drop some or all of your welfare. It's an increase on the tax the FAMILY as a UNIT pays, but they choose to bundle the entire increase on the female earnings statistic.

More unadultered bullshit... More unsubstantiated blanket claims... More calls for inequalities and discrimination against men on a Governmental, institutional level..

What's new?
