Q1: If Labour say "tax cuts causes inflation", (and use that as an excuse not to give them) why then, does the increase in government spending by 100% over the last 9 years apparently NOT cause inflation? Can you imagine going to the voters and saying "We can give you a Families Commission, but it will cause inflation, and erode your pay packet. Are you sure some of the 18,000 staff hired by Ministry of Social Development aren't enough to cover this?"
Q2: If Cullen has held back on tax cuts for 9 years to stop inflation and high interest rates, why do we have one of the highest interest rates in the OECD? [tip to side show bob]
Q3: Why does the Reserve Bank move quickly to raise interest rates when getting the latest figures from the market, ignoring future indications of softening - and when the latest figures indicate it's time to drop them, decides the future indicators of Labour's tax cuts for 2010 and 2011 suddenly have more relevance?
Q4: If just about every contract you sign has a built in clause to raise the fees by the cpi index, (including rates), why don't tax thresholds have a built in cpi threshold?
Q5: If the government spends millions of tax payer dollars on helping people with gambling addictions, why do they also run the lotteries and also spend millions of tax dollars promoting gambling?
Q6: Why does the government think it fair and reasonable to pay tax on tax payments, especially with the GST charged on rates, and to a lesser extent, petrol?
Q7: If the "rich pricks" pay the top tax rate, and according to Labour represent 5% of the working population, why do 22% of full time workers pay this rate?
Q8: Why didn't Labour may the above promise [made in 1999] a pledge?

The problem is the government has gotten into the habit of thinking that it's their money, not yours. Fortunately for them, most out there think that too.
ReplyDeleteIt's your money that the parasites are holding onto, if they have a surplus, that means they stole more from you than they needed to. If they stole too much then give it back and steal less next time.
It's your money and you folks should be allowed to spend it or save it. Not let the government use for their pet schemes.
