How the Rich get richer while the Poor stay poor

 

A philosophical deconstruction of the Australian taxation system and its principles

Our Australian taxation system is an impressive clockwork-like machine with its origins in pre-Victorian times; designed on pre-Victorian principles and with pre-Victorian efficiency. Its workings today, even though falling far short of what is needed in this electronic age, are kept in working order at great expense to the Australian Community.

The author for 34 years was just a worker in Maintenance tasked with keeping everything running as previously. All his pleadings for updating and improving existing plant and functions were met with a glazed silence and just ignored. Instead he made notes of his observations and described in detail the issues causing concern and how a particular function might be made to work more efficiently or, in many cases, retired from service.

This book might easily be taken for a report by a Royal Commission set up for the purpose of looking into and reporting on its inequity, its inefficiency and its complexity. But such Royal Commissions and enquires were held and even examined the issues just mentioned but were unable to formulate the findings and recommendations our author makes in this book.

Through his book, South Sudan – The World’s Youngest Nation, David aims to inspire young readers to embrace their cultural heritage and understand the importance of unity and diversity. This work seeks to educate young readers about the Republic of South Sudan, which became an independent nation after separating from Sudan. David hopes to empower the next generation of South Sudanese youth, particularly those living in the diaspora, by helping them understand their cultural heritage, the history of their nation, and the significance of its independence.

Anatomy of youth developments: step by step logics

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF LEGACY?

Let us stop waiting for someone else to be ‘the one’ – YOU be the one.

Maybe you want to start doing something that makes you feel truly alive, but you’ve had anxieties about doing something like this for a long time, feeling uncertain, inadequate, or this or that.

But know this: you do not just walk into an extraordinary existence with ease. There are barriers that must be broken – shattered – to create a LEGACY.

Dive into your dream life, make mistakes, and dare to develop yourself as you stagger through the ladder of new human development and expansion. Subject all layers of your self-development process to a rigorous but well-articulated degree of discipline and watch yourself break new grounds for all to see.

Every exceptional invention was brought to LIGHT from this dry, unrealistic, uncertain, confused starting point. YOU do not need all the fact to be excellent and great. You do not need permission to do little things in extraordinary ways, you just need to be true to achieving the general good of all; that is the reason great achievements are deemed as BREAKTHROUGHS.

You can be truly exceptional in your life if you want to. Be that SHINING DIAMOND in the dark places and believe YOU TOO can shine bright like a DIAMOND.
