SOCIALISTIC LIBERALS - GRAVEYARD POLITICS

Last week we had Lady April Hamer, Sir Rupert Hamers' widow remind us how socialistic the Liberal Party were then and still are now when it comes to Land Rights of the GREEN WEDGE ZONED LAND on outskirts of Melbourne Metropolitan area. Lady Hamer came out to express concern that her socialist husbands policy to dispossess GWZ land from farmers 40 years ago might go. Strangely enough it transpires that Lady Hamer is the patron of a Greens Group in inner Melbourne who are anti everything to do with development.

I call it GraveYard politics and I believe its time to let go of the policies of the dead and come back to the future and if the Liberal party want to be known as progressive and supporters of private property and free enterprise.

I see my role is to get the socialism out of the Liberal Party in Victoria..

FARM LAND PRICE MAINTENANCE

I made an interesting discovery today....that it appears that accoding to a submission to the State Government the following organisations listed below support the keeping of farmland prices as low as possible by [read red statement below]  .....

The price of land in Yarra Ranges is determined by its rural residential value (up to areas of

about 30 ha.). This makes it difficult for existing enterprises to expand their business in a

nearby location, particularly for the crop sectors at the lower end of the scale for net returns

per ha. This includes vegetables, orchard fruit and viticulture. A number of businesses have

expanded by purchasing properties outside the Shire, particularly in northern Victoria. While

this provides some diversification for managing climate risk, it does increase costs of

production, either running two sets of post-harvest facilities or returning crops to the home

property for post-harvest handling.

A solution to this problem could be to expand existing tenement controls to broader areas of the Green Wedge zones, so land would not have rural residential value, but this would meet with widespread opposition from the majority of existing landholders.

FAILURE OF PUBLIC POLICY ON FARM OWNERSHIP

Why are so many of our current and previous politicians so intent in diverting investment money away from local real estate such as farms and encourage the accumulation of foreign and local financial assets through the impost of a Superannuation Levy system on employees wages? While we think we are so smart with investing overseas on questionable easy investments,like the Prime Mortgage Funds, Shares and other financial instruments; the much smarter asians are buying up prime farming land using our billions spent on imported good. The imported good will sooner or later end up in landfill but the farms will still be producing food for asian countries.

Surely others can see the stupidity in public policy when both politicians and the public are so mezmerised into believing will generate a safe retirement without buying any local real estate. IMO I cant see how this direction will ever have the desired effect other than to dispossess another generation of a decent retirement as more than one extra financial crisis will surely wipe out the value of most financial assets.

Well actually, i do believe i know why Peter Costello Tresurer in the Howard government indroduced taxation incentives to encourage the sale of property to be invested into Superannuation Funds...was implemented to discourage property inflation during the Howard years which was at a high risk of occurring during those years, and explains why the govt decided to pay off debt and not reduce taxes or dish out other benefits.

IMO most Australian well watered farmland is substantially undervalued by locals but my views are confirmed by the contuing buying spree of more prime farmlands and probably helping to keep our $A higher than otherwise might have been the case. What is not known is whether the foreign buyers are using their own capital reserves or whether they are borrowing locally to fund purchses in both mining and farming assets.  Too complex for me to really say...only the RBA would know.

The 9% Levy soon to be increased through bribery to 12% is no more than fools gold which in my opinion which on top of excessively high wages is assisting in the demise of Australian Industry which in addition with Carbon taxes are forcing such companies as BlueScope Steel to reduce expensive staff in Australia and employ Asian staff at around $1.50- $3 per hour.No super Levy, No Workers Comp, No EPA conditions, No Carbon Taxes, No Maternity/ Paternity Leave or Holiday Loading...maybe just some bribery?

The remaining Private Sector is then left to support the unemployable, the old, the sick and the Local, State and Federal govt workers whose benefits are underwritten through taxation. Are we going back to the Kings & Serfs of old? Where the King and his men decided what the serfs could do with their land and how much in taxes they should pay to support the King & his entourage of administrators?

VICTORIA'S LOST $BILLIONS TO BE PAID BY PROPERTY OWNERS

In my opinion progressive State Governments in Victoria Australia have failed miserably and been costing local property ratepayers bigtime because it has failed to get the Local Government Defined Benefit Superannuation Scheme funding and investment arrangements right. In my living memory I recall that ratepayers have had to kick in $billions for the loses incurred by the Local Government Superannuation Scheme and local governments other merchant banking failures on at least three occassions.
Others might know the history better but i seem to recall the Kilmore area Council lifting rates by a massive 100% some years ago to cover for the losses incurred when their co-operative money market market MAV venture with other councils went broke, and during the Paul Keating recession we had to have other super funds went broke when the State Bank went broke. We forget history repeating itself but our policy makers are NOT protecting we ratepayers.

In my opinion it would be safer if NO NEW funds were put back in to cover the losses of the Local Government which are now running to several $billion because we would be risking losing it all again at the next financial crisis of which i estimate there will be several more. The Defined Benefit Schemes would be better funded on a Pay As You Go basis for current pensioners and so Councils would know how much it was really costing to employ all those extra staff and perhaps be a little more prudent in their hirings of staff in the future..

I urge Ratepayers to look at this issue to have the State Government pass the required legislation to stop this taxing drain on property owners and contact your local MP's to demand a change to protect our own incomes. If you dont, no one else will.

UNEMPLOYMENT GOOD FOR USA

The USA CANNOT afford full employment if your unemployed suddenly got jobs tomorrow they would want a new car to be IMPORTED, more fuel IMPORTED, new washing machine IMPORTED, new TV IMPORTED..new mobile hone IMPORTED…better new apartments RENT INCREASES OF ENORMOUS PERCENTAGES, new houses..IMPORTED FROM CHINA, digital camera..IMPORTED, more food…IMPORTED FROM ASIA.

WORK IT OUT NOW.... How many unemployed do you have now, plus how many homeless multiply that by total expected imports = MULTI TRILLION DOLLAR BALANCE OF PAYMENTS DEFICITS, EXCALLATING WAGE DEMANDS= HYPER INFLATION FOR THE REST OF THE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED PEOPLE, HIGHER INTEREST RATES TO 15% my guestimate.

So may I suggest you need just a few more people in jobs but not everyone in jobs to disrupt your current cozy lifestyle?

NO ONE WANTS TO PAY TAX FOR FREEDOMS

GILLYSROOMS IN AUSTRALIA, the statement you made that nobody want’s to pay taxes here is what I call a global statement. Some people here don’t mind paying taxes if they are used for the right purposes. And your statement that Republicans don’t want to share their wealth is also a global statement about Republicans. Does anybody really want to “share their wealth”? I know a lot of Republicans that donate to charities and who support worthy causes. But you are right that most conservatives don’t want to share their wealth with people who don’t do anything to earn it.

How do you define needy people?
Can they be lazy and needy too?
You say that “I know a lot of Republicans that donate to charities and who support worthy causes.”
Can you define worthy causes and charities ? Are these worthy cause like the Salvation Army who provide money and assistance to the criminally insane, thieves and vagabonds regarded as worthy causes?

I would object to the waste of money on the con artists and thieving actors who they assist every day so these “poor vulnerable people” or rather i call them lazy [maybe also needy] con artists can use their other money for alcohol and drugs. Why do wealthy people indirectly donate so much to these lazy class of thieves?

No I don’t agree to support these types of needy people. I would rather the wealthy donate to build museums or direct funds to medical science under conditions that discoveries be used to provide cheaper medicines for the general public.

Of the $Billions donated over the last 50 years for medical research, why is it that Cancer cures cost so much? Who is using this free research funding to discover cures and then selling them for excessive pricings? I would like donations to have strings attached.

I would much more agree that the lazy hobos remain on the streets and sleep under bridges as this class of person, well at least in Australia…I class as REJECTS, their families don’t want them, their friends don’t want them, and even the social workers wont house them preferring to pass them on to charities who waste their money on them.

Most have psychiatric problems, have personality problems and are just plain dangerous because they can’t live with strangers or family members, so why should anyone else take the risk to house them?

You want a say on how the government spends your tax money…but unfortunately its not that easy unless you work in government and have the authority…but alas the taxation system does NOT work to meet your personal expenditure requirements and those of every citizen who pays taxes…the only choice you have is an average choice…a communal choice as determined by millions of voters who vote for Members of your Congress, Senate and President who once chosen rely on the public services to administer the trillions of tax collections. Funnily enough these people remain in employment no matter how many administrations come and go ….their personalities do not change if suddenly the republicans win…unless the Republicans make specific directions in their policy adoption processes, The President and his men…have NO SAY in the Public servants offices. So i laugh at all the forum participants who blame OBAMA for all your current problems…when Obama represents the aspirations of all the Democrat supporters who voted him in last time and those who intend to vote for him again next time.

I support Dr. Ron Paul because he offers a seismic shift in policy whereas Mitt is just another Obama….Mitt cant offer anything new, whereas RON PAUL does. RON PAUL is different, he is better and put him in the limelight in debates and people will understand his wisdom. Mitt does not imprress me at all even though I’m in Australia …but i believe your treating your voters with contempt when you wish to put up MITT as a substandard product for sale/ on offer….they will choose Obama. Im sure Mitt is a nice enough guy…but voters want standout candidates which Ron Paul is. The Republicans should not gamble with Mitt unless they want to lose…

Its either RON PAUL or OBAMA in my view. .

I support RON PAUL’s policies because they are self-evident and honest…why go try find any alternative. You have had him for 40 years but you Americans have kept him under wraps WHY? Is it because you want things to remain the same? It goes to the root of the lack of honesty in many of your debaters who can’t debate rationally on policies …the very policies which RON PAUL offers but some of you are looking for someone younger better looking…in Mitt…but that won’t win you a Republican President.

In the end, I too have to accept what you Americans choose …but I can sure try hard to make you see the light. …the TREASURE you have before your eyes….sometimes i think you Americans enjoy choosing losers so that you can continue to complain about OBAMA…its part of the pleasure pain syndrome…you enjoy the pleasure of complaining about OBAMA the man instead of voting in RON PAUL your saviour…who you maybe don’t really believe in lower taxes and govt waste. You enjoy shooting yourselves in the foot….that’s my honest ,,no nonsense opinion…today.

Further, your country could not afford full employment if your unemployed suddenly got jobs tomorrow they would want a new car,,,IMPORTED, more fuel IMPORTED, new washing machine IMPORTED, new TV IMPORTED..new mobile hone IMPORTED…better new apartments RENT INCREASES OF ENORMOUS PERCENTAGES, new houses..IMPORTED FROM CHINA, digital camera..IMPORTED, more food…IMPORTED FROM ASIA. How many unemployed do you have now, plus how many homeless multiply that by total expected imports + MULTI TRILLION DOLLAR BALANCE OF PAYMENTS DEFICITS, EXCALLATING WAGE DEMANDS= HYPER INFLATION FOR THE REST OF THE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED PEOPLE, HIGHER INTEREST RATES TO 15% my guestimate. So may I suggest you need just a few more in jobs but not everyone in jobs to disrupt your current cozy lifestyle?

MY reply

A great deal of what you say is totally correct that wealth usually comes from unfetted free enterprise, HOWEVER the corruption within government of offering contracts to many corporations using government tax revenues has put your and many other nations in deficit from , THEY ARE LIVING OFF TAXES TOO. CORPORATE WELFARE IF YOU WILL. Those corporations who rely on government contracts for military purchases and roads and other essentials are not living directly of free enterprise activities. And many of your unemployed are living on government welfare so they can purchase food from your farms. So do you wish taxes to reduce after stopping food stamps and social welfare or stop money for roads or military wages?

America’s problems seem to stem from a belief that no one should pay taxes and that all government departments should close down except for the military and the police. No one wants to pay any tax and Republicans supporters most especially don’t want to share their wealth with anyone. They believe that they have worked hard using their skills to build and operate a business which is earning them an income and profit and why should they have to share that with others and strangers at that, as after all our profits are due to our hard work and skills at using cheap labor in America or the Asian countries and not due to government policies or the poorer being given money to buy our food and goods using food stamps.

Oh No, our businesses run independently to the American economy and we dont need others to steal our money through taxation. We want the lazy unemployed masses to beg and sleep under bridges or the streets and not be supported by government handouts. We want poor Americans to camp out in our bus stations and parks and beg for food and if they get too desperate and dare to try to steal food then the police can put them in concentration camps where they can earn their keep and food by breaking rocks for road construction companies who charge tolls for using their roads. Why should your poor be offered work for a reasonable wage if we can employ workers from China at $1 per hour. We only want to sell cars to other business people who can afford our high priced Ford motor vehicles and the poor can just learn to walk instead or get a bike. Charity is only optional if the churches themselves can get donations from other silly people who want to offer food and shelter to the millions of poor who will be sleeping in doorways and camping along rivers and parks and really who cares if they die freezing to death…they not our problem and certainly not the American way and certainly not the Christian way of doing things…nowhere in the bible does it say we should help the poor and disadvantaged, the lazy and the weak. Oh no we want to keep our money in gold.and not houses which might have desperate and dangerous squatters living in them who cant afford to pay rent because they can’t even afford to buy food after the Republican government scraps the food stamp program. .

Everyone needs to pay taxes to keep your economy going and its up to your representatives who you been voting in for the last 300 years to do what the majority wants them to do even if you as an individual or a group do not agree with the results.. That’s life, but some of you guys can’t accept the results of every one of your elections and continue to be bad losers when your party does not win. You act in a treasonous way with what some of you and your representative do against the good running of your elected or part majority elected government. I don’t blame you for being that way as it is the nature of men who have strong political beliefs and I myself do it sometimes too. Every time you have an election the losers complain that they could do it better and when they do win…THEY DO LITTLE to improve your economic situation.

Taxes cannot be apportioned according to some fair sharing system…it does not work that way. , Unfortunately your economy is not structured to suddenly cut expenditure programs to counterbalance lower taxes, that instant program will put your economy into a much worse situation than your in now…it will nosedive and gold prices will rise substantially for the benefit of traders and the major holders of gold such as the Chinese.

Those of you who might like to make more money out of such a scenario would in my opinion be unpatriotic to wish to profit from the demise of everyone else in your community

The reality is that your economy cannot operate without more people or corporations paying higher taxes…and so get on with it and pay more income taxes or pay more by losing everything in your financial collapse..I CANT PUT IT IN ANY OTHER LANGUAGE. iF YOU PAY MORE TAXES, THEN YOU WILL MAKE MORE MONEY AND GET TO KEEP WHAT YOU OWN NOW. LOOK AT THE SO CALLED SMART GREEKS…HOW SMART ARE THEY NOW??? DO YOU WISH TO FOLLOW IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS TOO?? JUST THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR CONTINUAL EGO BICKERING IN CONGRESS. ITS A TOTAL DISGRACE…

AND UNTIL YOU REPUBLICANS SUPPORT BY NOMINATING DR RON PAUL , then i’m going to believe that they too agree that more people are going to need to pay higher taxes to balance your budget. There are only TWO solutions…DR RON PAUL OR OBAMA. Mitt is just another Obama just another Democrat in sheeps clothing. So basically when you Republicans become honest by supporting honest candidates like Ron Paul…then I’ll believe your talk. Until then I DONT BELIEVE ANYONE EXCEPT RON PAUL.

How do you define needy people?
Can they be lazy and needy too?
You say that “I know a lot of Republicans that donate to charities and who support worthy causes.”
Can you define worthy causes and charities ? Are these worthy cause like the Salvation Army who provide money and assistance to the criminally insane, thieves and vagabonds regarded as worthy causes?

GONE ON HOUSING STRIKE

My current annoyance with our Conservative Victorian State government in Australia is that they require houses with 4 people who are unrelated to be registered with the local council. ie 4 people or more…i might understand 10 or more but 4 is ridiculous ..as it makes it uneconomical to do so and with a shortage of accommodation becoming critical it means that if I housed a woman with 2 children i would have to register the house so i could accept another person in the home. Its plain silly…its not a matter of trying to avoid income taxes which i declare anyway..its the silly health rules, fees and other red tape which a smaller house would be trapped into with government regulations, And further they could have repealed these socialist type regulations brought in by the previous Socialist Labor Government BUT they chose to keep them, which annoys me the most, nor are they interested in reviewing these rules.

I have decided to go slow and even gone on strike permanently in Australia by stopping to provide accommodation for the homeless due to the silly regulations when even our so called free enterprise and pro business State government of Victoria has continues to discourage investment in the area. I’m leaving it to the churches or the government social workers to provide shelter to the homeless thieves and vagabonds, due to the Gestapo type secret police rules they have introduced to seek out any investor who dares to provide accommodation for 4 or more people in a house unless they register with the local council. How dare I not comply with their important regulations…loll Families of any number don’t need to register but as soon as an investors DARES to rent out his rooms to 4 or more people than that becomes a crime in the State of Victoria.

I say ….. Let them sleep under bridges and on park benches. Or perhaps those do gooders in the Liberal Party of Australia in Victoria and the political members of parliament who agree with such stupid laws…they perhaps could offer accommodation to these “poor vulnerable” criminals themselves. What a load of nonscense...these people are not vunerable...its the churches who are preyed upon.

Yes I agree we too have STUPID LAZY POLITICIANS who won’t do any of their own research but are prepared to listen to TENANTS UNIONS and socialists who were employed by the previous SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY. And still employed by our new government SOCIALIST LIBERAL PARTY who claim to want to help small business. What a laugh….

I should advise that all homeless or unemployed in Australia receive government support and rent assistance being enough to pay for a room and food which is their choice to do and i provided rooms to many in crisis for rent, not charity. My charity was accepting them on short notice when no one else would. I do not provide food...i am able to provide a room for up to 15 -20 people in a government registered building with fire safety regulations being met  etc The building also has gas central heating for cold winter months which is included in the rent i charge. The rooms are furnished with refrigerator, bed etc. basics and sometimes a TV, but most have their own TV or computer these days.  

During our interview process I set out house rules which they must agree to, these rules are important to maintain the peace and good order and safety of all residents. These rules require that they do not take or deal drugs on my property or to invite any of their criminal associates onto my property which are banned anyway and i advise them also that i give a list of residents to police in case they thinking of hiding from police they best not accept to live in any of my houses. I also tell them that i have given police permission to enter premises without a Search Warrant at any time and they must agree to let them in...If the police suspect any illegal activities in their room etc. That they not attempt to borrow from other residents and NOT to bang on their doors at any time or to make any noise after 9pm at night as some residents do work and need a rested sleep. That all residents undertake to keep their rooms clean and to help keep the general house and gardens clean. And I advise them that they must pay their rent on time because I am providing them a room, a good mattress and roof over their heads on time too. My rules are set for the benefit of everyone and I advise them that if they break our agreement or become aggressive against others they will be evicted and I do sometimes needing police assistance...

Whilst some of my tenants became homeless due to relationship breakup or loss of a job which meant they could no longer maintain a lease on an apartment and thus might otherwise be honest and good citizens, some were thrown out by their spouses because of their aggressive behavior or alcoholism or drug taking affects or other behavioral problems and issues. The problem is some of these people are REJECTS because their families and relatives don’t want them, their girlfriends don’t want them, no one wants to live with them because of their behavioral issues and we don’t want them either unless they accept our conditions,

Some accept our conditions to get a room and then decide that they don’t like my rules and want to take over management on their terms which does not suit me and after a warning or two if they lucky we ask them to leave and go find another abode who may wish to accept their terms and conditions and if they behave themselves they will get time to find another room elsewhere where they may be more appreciated. All like our facilities and don’t want to leave but as they can’t accept our other terms. We evict sometimes with police assistance. Many of these people have serious personality problems and can’t live with anybody let alone their families, I don’t feel sorry for them if you knew the disruption they can cause in a group accommodation facility I operate and sleeping in a park or under a bridge would be good therapy and training for them,

I'll tell you a true story of a guy living with his girlfriend in one of my houses...he became abusive against his gf and threw pizza around their room and was drunk and disorderly so I evicted him for disturbing the peace. He went to live at another rooming house where many violent criminals lived and there were no rules...He got assaulted several times and left to live in a safer park bench. He rang me up pleading to be permitted to return, I said NO. He begged so I said that the only way I would accept him was if he understood a serious Alcohol detox course and be successfully rehabilitated. With that he undertook a 10 day course and showed me his certificate but i still said no to return to live with his gf ...i permitted him to move into one of my country houses for a long trial period...and only after i was sure that he was respecting my rules did i allow him to return but in a separate room. This guy was not uneducated he had been an electrical engineer and had been in the Army had previously been married etc. but took to the drink as some people do. He now has been a great help with my admiration of some of my houses, but i must say he is the exception rather than the rule of people being rehabilitated.

Some people leave of their own accord and if they are paid up when they request they return, then if their behavior was according to my rules we usually accept them again, however many are never accepted again and i feel no remorse for rejecting them and they may need to sleep rough, not my problem, The problem rests with those who choose to disrupt other people’s lives just so they can get what they want.

I had previously accepted referrals from social workers, unfortunately due to them refusing to provide mental health information about these people ...they claim PRIVACY RULES stopping them divulging vital information. I have stopped accepting their referrals from the Salvation Army, and many other groups who will hide the dangerous nature of their referrals just so they can get them housed. It has been said that they earn a performance based commission from Community Services for finding accommodation of even the most dangerous, but this has not been confirmed yet. I say if they are safe, they can house them themselves in their own homes, but don’t try putting the criminally insane and dangerous psychopaths into our homes to disrupt our lives. Let them sleep in the streets so they can maybe learn to conform or feel the snow, I'm sure many readers might agree with me.
