Scott Morrison on the TV, spruiking again that if you give $65 billion in tax cuts to foreign multinational companies in Australia, many of which pay no tax anyway, rivers of gold will flow through to workers in jobs and wages. I'm honestly asking - who believes this stuff? I genuinely scratch my head. We just went through 2 decades of economic boom, and wages went nowhere. If business didn't pay workers more in the biggest boom in history, when would they?
