“Absolutely love
this!
Whoever thought it up
is a genius ~
they need to be
congratulated!”
Accept my gratitude,
Tom, for sending me the following letter.
It was sent to Tony
Abbott, the current Prime Minister of Australia.
Dear Mr. Abbott:
Please find below our suggestion for fixing Australia's
economy.
Instead of giving billions of
dollars to car companies and other businesses that will squander the money on
lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan...you can call it
The Patriotic Retirement Plan. There are about 10 million people over age50 in
the work force.
Pay them $1 million each severance for early retirement
with the following stipulations:
They MUST
retire ~ Ten million job openings ~ Unemployment fixed!
They MUST
buy a new Australian car ~ Ten million cars ordered ~ Car Industry fixed!
They MUST
either buy a house or pay off their mortgage ~ Housing Crisis fixed!
They MUST
send their kids to school/college/university ~ Crime rate fixed!
They MUST
buy $100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week ~ and there's your money
back in
duty/tax, etc.
Instead
of stuffing around with the carbon emissions trading scheme that makes
us pay
for the major polluters, tell the greedy bastards to “Reduce your pollution
emissions
by 75% within 5 years or we shut you down.”
Cut down
on pollies' perks ~ they earn enough money to pay for their own petrol,
food, drinks, airfares for their wives and families...like all other
hard-working
Aussies do. We pay big money but we still get MONKEYS!
No
government credit cards for pollies ~ let them get their own then they will be
more careful about how they use it and pay up
on time so as not to incur interest.
It can't get any
easier than that!
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of
parliament pay back their
falsely
claimed expenses and second home allowances.
If you
think this would work, please forward to everyone you know!
Grumpies of the
World Unite....with Other Suggestions
Let's put the
pensioners in jail and the criminals in nursing homes!
This way, the pensioners would have access to showers,
hobbies and walks.
They'd receive unlimited free
prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs, etc. and they'd
receive money instead of paying it out.
They would have constant video
monitoring, so they could be helped instantly...if needing assistance.
Bedding would be washed twice
a week and all clothing would be ironed
and returned to them.
A guard would check on them
every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cells.
They would have family visits
in a suite built for that purpose.
They would have access to a
library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and education.
Simple clothing,shoes,
slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free...on request.
Private secure rooms for all,
with an exercise outdoor yard with gardens.
Each senior could have a PC, a
TV, a radio and daily phone calls.
There would be a board of
directors to hear complaints and the
guards would have a code of conduct that
would be strictly adhered to.
The Criminals would get...cold
food...be left alone and unsupervised.
Lights off at 8 pm and showers
once a week.
Live in a tiny room and pay
$600 per week and have no hope of ever getting out.
The Australian
Constitution
They keep talking about
drafting a Constitution for Iraq...why don't we just give them ours? It was drawn up by a lot of really smart
guys; it has worked for centuries and
we're not using it any more.
The Ten
Commandments
The real reason that we can't
have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse or Parliament is this: You cannot post Thou Shalt Not Steal...Thou
Shalt Not Commit Adultery...and Thou Shalt Not Lie...in a building full of
lawyers, judges and politicians...it creates a hostile work environment.
Think About All
the Foregoing!
If you don't want to forward this for fear of
offending someone:
YOU ARE PART OF
THE PROBLEM!
It is Time for
us Grumpy Old Folk of Australia to speak up!
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
Purpose,
Persistence and Passion
were three attributes
paid to Bernie Morelli
for his achievements
as a Hamilton
politician for 22 years.
