I'm Angry And I Understand Why Australians

I Know People Are Looking At Whats Happening In Washington And Then They Also Look At Events In Europe, In Greece And Portugal And Other Places And Worry About That.

We Are Constantly Being Told That We've Never Been Wealthier. And Many Of Us Are. On Average We All Are. But That's Just The Problem.. No One Is Average.

There's Not A Sense That The Person Who Is Waiting On The Table Is Somehow A Lesser Person That The Person Who Is Eating In The Restaurant.

As Our Economy Faces Up To Potential Labour Shortages Due To Our Ageing Population And As It Moves To A New Level Of Sophistication To Compete With The Rest Of The World, We're Going To Need Every Australian On Board Pulling Their Weight, Rejoining The Workforce, Gaining New Skills. Writing Off Individuals And Communities Suffering From Poverty Just Creates A Dead Weight For Our Economy To Drag Along.
