And I don't think people realise just how bad things are.. I was a tradie..

  1. We had a rich customer literally send a helicopter to pick up a $25000 projector for his home
  2. The biggest home I worked with, was 4 stories, and the bottom story was literally a garage which was bigger than my entire block.. it was pointlessly big
  3. Another rich persons home had a massive gas firepit (fire fountain I guess), in the middle of his swimming pool
  4. Another rich guy with a swimming pool with see through bottom you can see from underneath in house
  5. A home in Brighton with a full blown tennis court and massive yard
  6. Had a rich guys kid threaten me onsite to try to get what he wanted.
  7. We did work for 2 lib politicians. 1 literally flew a few of us interstate to move their rack to a different location (as they changed their mind). Another one had a useless IT guy that messed up their network, and then refused to pay the bill until we fixed it.. for free..
  8. One guy in the docklands smashed a $10000 8K TV, and literally just went out and bought a second one same day
  9. The WORST customer had (mechanic), was boasting how he got kicked from Uber for being racist. After it was reinstated, he said a racist joke to the driver which was delivering something whilst we were there.
  10. Lots of rich people throw parties where people eat off naked women..

These guys aren't job creators. They're just wasting money, and they definitely should be taxed more.

Most of them got there by screwing other people (in particular, the mechanic). They clearly can afford more taxes. Some of them purposely screw their customers too (so, the jobs they create aren't the ones we should be creating)
