    I am arguing that all forms of govt. assistance payouts (pensions, invalid, unemployment, aged, whatever) allowances, etc even embracing everything, the figure can't be as high as 70%. Self funded retirees (no govt pension, let's argue), children, wealthy younger people who have no need of any assistance at all and may well still work, etc etc are the ones who pay taxes and they need to otherwise Australia will become financially unsustainable. Some self funded retirees retain money in their own name as they don't trust the govt. tinkering with super and thus prepared to pay some tax (that describes me, for example). There must be other picastocs around like me, surely.
