I know that's why I came back - a fair society to raise a family in. It wasn't for the money; if it were, a tax cut's not really going to make the difference that a high-wage economy built on education and skills would anyway. This government's policies continue to keep wages down and grow the gap with Australia that they promised to cut. Policies that actually grew wages would have a far better effect than a tax cut that merely increases inequality. Excellent post!
