Low earing people pay a marginal tax rate of 15%

Higher earning people can pay a marginal tax rate of 45%

That can be greatly adjusted if idiots keep putting stupid answers in,

so how does writing in a false religion affect tax rate? how does me saying I did over 30hours a week housework affect the tax rate?

maybe they should ask people how much alcohol they consume so they know where to put more liquor stores

Yeah right Russel don't act like you don't remember. A few weeks ago when you were reffing, might have been Manly vs Penrith was it? You blew a penalty and one of the players asked what the penalty was for and you told him "go away I'll tell you later".

And how does them knowing the street address of my workplace or how much money I made from different sources affect the future of the country?

Ever thought that knowing where people are travelling to work may have an influence on planning what sort of transport infrastructure is needed and knowing how many people work in certain areas so that they can plan evacuations in case of natural disasters or terrorist attacks etc?

why is that? because the church said so?

im an atheist, so stick that up the virgin mary


What virgin Mary? :LOL:
To be a true atheist one would have to know for a fact that there is no God. The only way to do that would be to know absolutely everything there is to know in the universe. I assuming you don't (though I may be wrong?) but otherwise you would find that you are an agnostic.

Wiki said:
Atheism, in its broadest sense, is a lack of belief in a deity or deities:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athiesm

Very Very wrong there KM...According to your system, practically everyone is an agnostic because theology relies on fallacy's such as circular reasoning and appeals to tradition...

Agnosticism is the classic cop out imo. A cop out that I ascribe too...

No, an agnostic is somebody who doesn't particularly care whether or not God in some form exists. Wikipedia isn't the be all and end all.

Im not sure whether to laugh or feel sorry for you. At least you have faith in the system - ignorance is bliss as they say.

-An agnostic argues that since it can't be proven either way, there's no point in bothering with it. I'll concede that initial point.
-Atheism is a matter of Belief, and as such, much like religion, isn't a matter of substantiation...So If Raider doesn't believe in god, he doesn't have to prove his point as much as any thiest doesn't have to prove the existance of a diety to be a 'true-christian' or 'true-hindu' etc*. I'm aware of a few academics like Flew who are attempting to redefine the meaning of 'athiest' to be in line with the tradition greek derivation of the prefix 'a' as evidenced in words such as 'atypical,' but even they're happy to admit that this is not the currently accepted understanding of the term in wider culture. I reckon 4c is probably the most suitable place for this discussion.

Anti-Census folks-Get over it. In return for providing you with your existance in one of the most advanced, wealthy and safe nations on the planet, the Government asks that you fill in a form every five years, from which important data is gathered...which has applications in fields as diverse as Finance and Law enforcement.

What do you mean, are you denying people use the results from the census for this?

What do you think they use the results for?

I'm inclined to follow that system of believing... if I can't see it what's the point?

It does seem pretty bloody logical, doesnt it?

Innocent, good people die every day for no reason.. if there was a God, surely things like that woudn't happen?

I'm dead set waiting for a religious person to come here and tear strips off someone. Personally, without trying to sound nasty, it's almost as if people use religion as a fallback... when all seems lost, pray to God - but the rest of the time, act like a prick and he'll forgive you anyway?

Sounds a bit rich to me. I'm happy living my life, making my choices, living the ups and downs. I'm the only person who is here with me the whole time.
