That article was pathetic, her first points were quite valid, get off your butt an work! Don't complain about not having money and then go buy 2 freaking packs of cigarettes and a couple beers!

Her last comment about wages and Taxes was stupid, however. :P

That is more a daily consumption for most the people she is referring to in Aus.

The tax needs to be cut, as they just introduced an outragous carbon tax worth about 7BN a year to the government.

The lower wage will most likely increase now that the first $18,000 is not taxible, meaning all part time workers will demand a pay rise as they know they won't be taxed.

I was thinking she was saying that wages should be lowered in general, not just in Australia, oops!

But I'm not sure what you mean by your first sentence.

By first sentence I mean the people she is refering to consume WAY more then 2 packs of smokes and a couple of beers. That is probably what they do daily on weekdays. Weekend is worst lol.

As I said previously, I have no issue with people drinking and smoking but if they spenidng around 80%-90% of their wage on those two items only, then going to charities asking them to help pay bills then their priorities are all wrong. I know people who work with my mum earn around $50K a year. In the area they all live that is good money, but they still struggle to pay bills. My mum does smoke and drink occasionlly but spend 10% of her wage on those items. Hence she has enough money left to pay bills.
