It's a proposal, and would only apply to superannuation (401k) and only on superannuation balances above $3 million.

Superannuation in Australia is compulsory, employers currently contribute 11.5% of wages and salary to employees superannuation funds, contributions are taxed at 15%, which is lower than income tax rates.

Superannuation funds can be either independent licensed funds, or you can run your own self managed fund, the funds are not held by your employer or the government. People can move their superannuation from one fund to another, they are not locked into one fund. There is a government website that shows the performance and fees for each superannuation fund, this has weeded out some of the poorly performing superannuation funds.

The average person in Australia has $0.5 - $1 million in superannuation when they retire, very few people have more than $3 million, most of them run their own self managed funds, good for them, but they may be taxed.

It would not apply to investments outside superannuation, people directly investing in the share market or managed funds would not be taxed on unrealized gains.

It would make me incredibly happy to know you guys feel the same sense of pride when you look back at your careers as I do when I look back at mine.

Though, Infammable with your obsession of looking at dudes with shit stained underwear and with Philo hiding under the name "EVH", I fear you both might not ever get to experience the pride the comes with perfecting your craft... unless your craft is looking at photos of dudes with shit stained underwear and pretending to be someone... then ya'll are crushing the fuck out of it!

EDIT: Stay smooth fellas! It's been fun but the bar is singing it's sweet lullaby. Have a good one! Go out there and try something new, you might love it.

Well, I don't need the bar to drown my sorrows, but you keep being you shit stain!

You should try new things too, like sobriety and humility. 

Don't let another johnson get you "dirty", and don't forget to kiss your "homies" good night!!

The fact that you think a bar is only a place to drown your sorrows is the saddest thing I've read in ages.

I don't know much about the Nobel process so I can't speak to that but based on my experience in both the film and sport worlds I see a lot of overlap between winning an Emmy (or any other award in this business) and winning a championship. By which I mean at the end of the day – to an outsider – it might appear as if the person holding the trophy at the end of the season "is the winner" but the reality is it's a win for all the incredibly talented people who worked incredibly hard for an incredibly long period of time in hopes that your collective efforts achieve a better result than every other team in that championship.

Thanks, homie!

I wish, but no, a submission doesn't mean an automatic nomination. The only thing automatic about this process is me automatically reaching out to the higher ups to negotiate a higher rate since there is a formal paper trail of them acknowledging that I'm producing (potentially) award winning work for their project, haha.

I can't even imagine having such a purposeless existence that – despite any differences – I would do anything but congratulate someone from my community on getting recognized for their lifetime of hard work. You on the other hand, sitting at home looking at dudes with poo filled underpants, name calling, and stewing over how you can eek out any sense of a victory because your life is so far from feeling the warmth of a win... sad shit, dude. No wonder you think bars are "only for drowning sorrows". 

Get out there and accomplish something, homie. Not only do I assure you that no one is stopping you but you but I guarantee you it'll make looking in the mirror a hell of a lot easier and everyone in your circle way more proud of you than they are now.
