Stop the Harvey Norman GST tax extortion

Harvey Norman and a number of other retailers are attempting to lobby the Australian government to place a GST upon online transactions. We encourage you to boycott Harvey Norman stores in Australia and New Zealand. Taxation is not the answer and we will explain why in this blog.

The blind salesman leading the blind sales woman

Well Harvey Norman does have some supporters based on feedback on the SMH website:

"I have 3 children, am a single mother and work for Myer - how am i supposed to feed my family if i lose my job???? Keep australian money in australia!"

The problem is that she suffers from the same education standards as Harvey. To answer her question:
1. Stop having children
2. Retrain so you can enter a more lucrative job than sales - a disappearing career vocation
3. There is no such thing as 'Australian money', and its certainly not yours since you will never recoup all the welfare you are getting for your 3 children.
4. Stop supporting fascist governments which undermine your ability to retain a job by adopting minimum wages and boom-bust government spending policies.

I might add that the concept of 'keeping money in Australia' is not a new concept. Its name in the old days was mercantilism. i.e. It is nothing more than a collectivist form of favouritism. What we need to do is work for what we get, and recognise the 'real' value offered by Chinese and other foreign businesses that offer us cheap, quality product. The problem is Australians who don't support their own lives, and politicians who sabotage their development by comforting them, i.e. Sparing them from development opportunities.
