Dont see what the fuss is all about, they will get back most of what they spend from the flow on effect, extra income tax from jobs, company tax, payroll tax, less spending on unemployment. They did the hard thing but the right thing.

Huh?

How do they get extra taxes from income/payroll/company taxes when they have admitted unemployment will rise to 8.5% and revenues will be down on previous years?

As opposed to not spending. Where it would rise higher than 8.5%. Theres nothing any government could do to prevent a deficit or loss of jobs. Acknowledging this and taking steps to minimise the effect is what counts here.

Stolen from my email inbox.

LETTER FROM THE BOSS.....

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Kevin Rudd is our Prime Minister, and that our taxes, and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%.

Since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lot and found six ‘Kevin 07' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change; I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic
