This boils down to "fuck you, got mine".

That money is our clapped out health system. That money is our clapped out education system. That money is rebuilding towns from the next season of bushfires - hell, maybe they'll work in some climate resistant infrastructure. That money is land management. That money is research for the CSIRO. That money is social housing.

That money is department funding to go after multinationals.

That money is stopping someone else from needing to put up with the bullshit of food scarcity you did.

This isn't America and thank fuck. If we stop spending, it falls apart and we've been putting off maintaining our society for decades now. Grow and stop seeing the bullshit you went through as validation to put others through worse.

The ladder was pulled up before I had a chance to use it.

This isn’t “fuck you, got mine” it’s fuck you, I will get mine.

I haven’t built wealth yet and stage 3 will help me do so. Doesn’t help you? I don’t care.

How you still have faith in a status quo that's actively fucking us all says so much. The absolute limit of your imagination is to graduate being abused and become the boot - which is sad as hell because no matter what you do you'll never be rich enough to escape this. You're too far behind, dude - you can't afford to pay your way out of what's coming. Accept it. You're disposable. They'll die laughing at you for selling your life away for table scraps.

Putting the boot into other poors isn't going to stop you from being who/where you are.

Of all of us, you're going to fall the hardest no matter how hard you run away - and all the supports you'll need to ease you through 'failing' at neoliberalism on a dying planet will have been cannibalised by upstanding, fanatically Thatcherite cunts like yourself.

When your time comes, and I say this earnestly, be sure to do the rest of us a favour and post your plot so we can organise a schedule for pissing on it. You'll be like the forgotten soldier for contemporary idiots.

Lmao wanting to tax multinationals and mining companies is somehow Thatcherism!

I can tell you’re always going to be a poor because you’re clearly brain dead.

Back at you, bootlicker.
