In Australia, the way people earn their money affects the rate of tax they pay — and top earners have a very different income mix from everyone else.

I find it very hard not to feel angry about the unfairness, and intransigence of the wealthy in this country.

Why should I work so hard, to get so little, when these people have a leg up on everything. And I don’t count myself as that bad off, in fact I’m, overall, goin pretty well.

    That’s an argument for tax brackets to be indexed with inflation, and for your company to pay more fairly

    True, and I’ll also say that the vested shares not going to workers if they leave or are fired is terrible, companies doing that is absurd. They’re effectively doing the first few years on 2/3 or 1/2 pay, in an industry where I wouldn’t trust them to employ certain roles for more than a few years.
