Form Your Own Budget (1 Viewer)

Ok, so we always speculate about whether we should change the tax system, or spend less on defence and more on education etc etc. Well, here is our chance to hypothesise.

Starting mine now.

There must be a lot of abbos/bogans/Centrelink regulars/lebs/niggaz/bludgers who visited that site to allocate so much money to Social Security and Welfare in this simulation.

EDIT:

The stats.
Equal opportunity for all.
Communism ftw.

[Lentern]

How can I take out the GST?

The correct amount of government expenditure: $0

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Had just under $60 billion in surplus. Allegedly my budget was not well received by the government. 25% flat tax rate for all, including corporate.

 

[Riet]

.35% flat rate of tax, lower "other taxes" massive investment in defence, mining/construction/manufacturing and transport and telecommunications.

It won't let me return all the money to everyone else.

Yes it will, just lower the tax threshold to 1 cent in every dollar

 

[Hagaren]

Basically my budget has a standard taxation rate of 30c of the dollar, i would intend for this to have a 15,000 threshold.

The money which i need to make up in the budget would come from increasing the cigarette tax and legalizing marijuana distribution by the government and/or it's acting agent.

Mr. Red was so cute i just ended up taking his advice for everything :S

While this budget simulator is interesting, I think there is much that a government does that doesn't really hinge on how much they spend on it, but rather how they go about doing things. It seems to be assumed that "if you spend more on something in the budget, that means you care more about it" - but what if you just found a cheaper more efficient way to get the same amount of stuff done?

I'm sure there is plenty of wastage in the state's departments, since they have little need to keep costs low.

I know what you mean.

I hated disappointing it.

And just like my father, I tried at all costs to please it. Even if that meant hiking up petty cash, then so be it.

Cut health spending - most health expenses is in the last week of somebodys life; plenty of savings to be made there.
Increase in fuel/energy - R&D
Increase in education - the best investment there is.
Dramatic decrease in welfare: Superannuation finally replaces the pension. First tax bracket starts at 30k~
Increase in transport and communication

 

[Omiums Troll]

I raised taxes for each group by around 30 cents / $

Invested heavily in Education, Defence, Health and Infrastructure...

How the heck am i in $29.6 billion dollars of debt

Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey said: "When you look at this closely, you would swear it was Omiums first attempt at a federal budget"

Fuck you Joe.
