I'm a real estate valuer who worked in the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) before co-founding Westlink Consulting, a real estate valuation practice. I discovered, by leaving publicly-generated land rents to be privately capitalised by banks and individuals into escalating land price bubbles, this generates repetitive recessions and financial depressions. We need a tax-switch: from wages, profits and commodities onto economic rents/unearned incomes, if we are to create prosperity and minimise excessive private debt.

Here comes “THE DEPRESSION”!

THE CURRENT ECONOMIC DEPRESSION

When you’ve seen this socio-economic collapse coming from a long way off, you need to get the absolute frustration with public policy out of your system – especially as it relates to the damaging effects of taxation!

Each of my ‘commentaries’ up to and including May 2009 was e-mailed to all Australian federal politicians – until I saw the pointlessness of that!

So, this commentary will be my catharsis. If others are interested, that’s great!

There’s been a hiatus since May, but as of 26 August 2009 The Depression is up and running!
