Yeah, taxes suck.

At one stage (like 5 years ago?), taxes here in Australia was 47% or 48% (one of them) for one of the higher ranges which wee are in.

At least in America your government only support unemployed people for a certain period, then stops (I heard). Here in Australia the government pays them forever, while they spend that money getting themselves drunk and refusing to find a job because the government will pay them for the rest of their life anyway. And yeah, wee pay a fucking high as tax to support them so they can sit on their donkey smoking their crack.

Currently, it's slightly better, but still gay.

Wee're well into the $80,001 – $180,000 range, and almost at the $180,000+ range. That's a fucking 40% tax rate.

And the economic crisis screwed up out shares portfolio big time. Which sucks too.

Heh, half true.

How is it worth it to sign into mortgage (of such a high amount) so you can spend the rest of your life paying it back?
