Letter to my van insurance company about GST

The following is a letter I'm sending in the next few minutes, to the insurance company covering the 3rd party for my home; a 1885 Holden SHUTTLE 'camper'.


Please make note: I object to paying the $36.36 stolen under the guise of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
My sole income is the Centrelink pension of $235.00 per week, or $12,220 per annum.
It is callous, and for this being another burden on the lower 40 to 60% of taxpayers, pushing them usually into debt - "hollow money" and the selling of their Soul, or into the arguably more Virtuous "life of crime", - for this, any GST on these "necessities" (vehicular mobility and insurance) and all other basics of a homeless, poor person's life (living on a pultry $12,220/year) is to be detested as nothing-short of sinister.
A grave immaturity is motoring your and most all white collar industries these days, and for a blind "comfortable and relaxed" attitude energised throughout the divisive "city life", it is steering the whole country, and for your "colleagues" overseas, the whole planet, over a big cliff.
It is your and your peer's complaicancy to sinister taxes such as the GST, income taxes and others unnecessarily fostered by the "H.I.H."-type mental illness in private industry and government, that will one day be seen as corrupt in itself, and as rogues, those who remain silent, will die in ignomy.

ON THE OTHER HAND..............

You're all good with figures, you all have prized skills in economics, and how many of you discuss monetary issues, political influences, environemtal effects, between "screens and keyboards" as they effect your precious industry, and the wider world, AND I bet some of you are Honest enough to go the next step and gain an insight into how bad the current economic status quo and it's system is to the majority of Human Beings, and your industries' active part(s) in upholding such draconian social attitudes - and tax policies.
As I began, "You're all good with figures...." so bugger-me why can't you discuss how a dramatically more Virtuous insurance industry - which must be your prefered option - can be configured into Economic-(Ethical-E) Laws of the Land, via the most Economic, most Accountable, most Equitable taxation system of LAND RENT for GOVERNMENT REVENUE.
I'd punt and say the effects to your whole industry, with many associated white collar professions (perhaps even lawyers) would be wholly Beneficial, with the same Result to all depths of the Soul of the individuals therein.
I guarantee the increasing number of Honest Australians, youth, middle-aged, and aged who are slipping under the "economic waterline", nomads or fixed addressers, would celebrate the many of you who still suppress a Conscience for a Better world for your children, et al, were you to Stand, and Speak Out.
Be a hero to all, especially to your kids.
