Thread:Comments:Opposition Leader predicts 'people's revolt' in Australia over carbon tax/Bring on the new tax

Hi,

For many years of my life I have been a passionate Liberal Party supporter. I've worked hard, I've saved and invested a lot of money and am very financially comfortable. The thing is I always believed I needed the Liberal Party in power in order to keep building wealth. However these last few years have taught me that it makes no difference, I still make more money. New taxes hurt the poor, not the rich, yet the poor are the ones who vote Labor. They will have to pay and suffer accordingly. I've got no sympathy for them of course, I don't care if the cost of living goes up so high for average Australians that they can no longer cope. They made their own bed and now they have to lie in it. This is what they get for allowing this government to exist. For my childrens sake of course I want the Liberals back in power to give them every opportunity I had to make something of themselves. Its gotten to a point that I believe most middle Australians loathe success, they crave poverty and they are natural born losers. Conciously they will deny it but subconciously they relish in failure, every action in their lives is a psychic sabotage to set themselves up for continual fall after fall. This new tax on their standard of living will be another smack in the face for working families bringing on the subconcious masochism they desire. I hope eventually they will wake up and face reality. This ingrained culture of failure needs to stop.
