The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense — yet that's what this GOP budget is all about.

Lots of fuss over the new super tax on balances over $3M - but it affects less than 0.5% of Aussies. Most won’t ever reach that. Super is for all Aussies’ retirement, not a tax haven for the ultra-rich. Maybe the outrage should match who’s actually impacted?

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M. See the problem?
