Yes. It Would matter. For you see... WHO pays for it all?

Whenever the Govt Gives money - grants, bonuses, allowances, subsidies, etc., etc., that money has to First come from other people.

Those so-called free things are funded by productive people. The govt steals their money (calls it tax though) and then spends some to keep itself in fine threads and hands out some for various reasons. The productive people are financing the whole shebang.

Aust now has a First Home Buyers Grant of $14k. The govt will Give first home buyers $14k to help them buy a home. Then there is the Baby Bonus of around $5k paid to people when they have a kid. There are Subsidies for parents to put their child in day care. Subsidies for students to go to uni.

It ALL has to be funded by taking money from productive people and then giving it to those who have their hand out.

So, Yes, it would matter. Because that's communism.
