Dear President Donald Trump
In 1962 Valerie and I married, after I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in London.
In 1963 I got a 2 year Contract to work in the Price Waterhouse Office in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
We soon appreciated Australians and their lifestyle, and loved the beach and water sports in a subtropical climate. There was no poverty, homelessness and fear for personal and property security.
We discovered we could buy a freehold block of land, have a house designed to our requirements and select a builder. We borrowed funds to build the house at a fixed rate of interest of 4.38% for 35 years.
In Queensland women had to leave their employment when they married so Val, although a qualified secretary, could not get a job.
On my salary, we were able pay off the home mortgage loan, furnish the house with goods made in Australia and buy an Australian made car. Also afford to start a family in 1965.
In 1963 the Population of Australia was 10.9 million and the Government slogan was “Populate or perish”. By 1970 Australia had no National Debt.
There was no fringe benefits tax, employer super contributions, capital gains tax and goods and services tax.
Fast forward 60 years and Australia with a Population of over 27.2 million is largely foreign owned/controlled and crippled in debt.
Only 2% LIBERTY TAX can SAVE Australians. The same applies to Americans.
Kind regards
