You’re amusing enough but I wouldn’t call you a clown.

Taxes can be lowered if the government isn’t wasting money.

You haven’t refuted my argument in the slightest.

Every cent I pay in taxes that are spent on something I don’t benefit from is literally money I no longer have to improve my own quality of life.

I'm sorry that you have to pay 100% of your income

Hmmm looks like that’s an argument I never made, let’s check the definition of a straw man argument.

A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent

Nothing about the straw man fallacy excludes hyperbole.

Under examples we can see

Exaggerating (sometimes grossly) an opponent's argument, then attacking this exaggerated version.

Oh you thought I was talking about the very real possibility of someone wanting to commit suicide due to disability…. Tsk tsk.

As I said right from the outset, if there is no science to say that paying for hookers is a more effective use of money than other support methods then it shouldn’t be paid for by public funds.

No evidence, no funds, Im a happy man.

Do try to keep up.

It’s alright, the government agrees with me.

No more blowjobs on NDIS dollars.

Guess your strawman will be offing itself soon.

They should be refused re-entry to Australia.

And I have a need for some rest and relaxation from the daily grind. I would rather spend my money on myself than on hookers for someone else.

Weird I know.

When you break it down by region it makes a bit more sense but plenty of people are still doing it tough.

I have warned about this. Access to online services will soon be locked behind your mygov id.

These plans have been in motion for a long time.

What a surprise! The only idiot I’ve ever seen spouting he was a Nazi at work was a member of the Young Liberals.

He was also gay and didn’t like being informed he would be first into the ovens if he ever got his wishes.

Menzies oversaw the nation building that occurred after WW2 and everything that has come since has been heavily influenced by his work.

Though I do rate Whitlam and Hawke highly as well so Im pretty happy with responses in this thread!
