but rich people don't pay tax. tax is what poor people pay. i don't think our politicians pay tax, even. there is some declaration thing they are supposed to do since 2008 or similar of what money they get and what trusts they manage and / or are named beneficiaries of and the like.
that's where i saw that a number had foreign superannuation schemes.
a number had charitable trusts.
a number had things like... season pass to whatever racing club
sports tickets...stuff like that.
one named his car as an asset worth... don't remember how much.
it matters. what they spend their money on.
i don't care if someone is a millionare if they have an eye to investing in things that are good for us all. clearly our government is mostly incompetent.
and i don't begrudge people having nice things. if he was really into that car (and made sacrifies in other respects) and he brought it new and he's still gonna be riding around in it when it's vintage, or similar... then i dont begrudge...
but then if you learn that the people in his care are expected to... well... yeah.
