I steeled myself to watch The Bolt Report last Sunday in order to give the man a chance to convince me he would be worth time spent on Channel Ten.
Alas! Only minutes into his opening statement Andrew Bolt informed Australia that only people in the workforce or of workforce age were financing government expenditure on things like pensions, schools and hospitals.
Graph found in Catallaxy archivesErgo, the very people Bolt is bashing contributed to the hospitals he would likely access should he fall ill.
I won't even mention the fact that Bolt appears not to realise that the indexation of family support payment, Family Tax Benefit A, is not paused at a 'family' income of $150,00 per year, but the 'primary wage earner's income'.
The Bolt Report? Distorted opinion and definitely not worth wasting my time on.
