Adam Bandt: trickle-down tax cuts just make the rich richer
Morrison has rushed his tax cuts for millionaires through the House today, with Labor’s support. The government will spend tens of billions of dollars of public money making the rich richer.
Next year, low and middle income earners will receive $0 from these tax cuts, whilst mining magnates and CEOS will get thousands and thousands of dollars from the public purse.
This isn’t how we recover. It’s how the Liberals & Labor help out their millionaire mates whilst the rest of the country suffers.
With this money we could build public housing, have free education, get dental into Medicare & lift people out of poverty.
Never again can they ask the question “how can we pay for it?”
We can afford it – they just don’t want to.
The Greens will fight this reckless decision every chance we get.
We must put the millions ahead of the millionaires.
