Australian comedian's bushfire fundraiser passes $20 million goal

So your answer is to spend nothing? And then make bullshit claims that our kids will be poor if we don't. In fact, our kids are on a course to being poorer than us, and that's precisely because of our unwillingness to tax wealth or spend for the common good. You know, things that communities do. We've foisted the costs of society onto our children instead of the wealthiest class of rich people who've ever existed in human history....all while making bullshit arguments about not having the money to go around. The money is there. 27 trillion dollars of it, sitting in offshore bank accounts, doing nothing. We let it happen. And we let it happen with bullshit arguments like yours that taxes make for poor children.
