Is John a spineless pussy or what?

Which ever party lowers personal tax, as well as corporate taxes rates, is the winner in the, which political is economically strangling NZ, competition.

That being the case, National are fucking NZ's economy worse than Labour were before it... it's just a case of whether JK and chums know it... Either way, they're still fuckwits.

Actually, the real fuckwits are the people who vote in the party that gives the best tax cuts and who think tax cuts are the answer to every economic woe.

Here's a question.

Does ANY government in the world seem to have it right?

But, that would mean absolutely nothing is going to change

Here's a question.

I doubt it very much. They all seem to be too busy fucking around with the economy to think about how their changes will affect "the people"

A few: Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark spring to mind.

ME TOO and here here! ;P isn't the higher purpose of the bleating meant to be about preventing shit that shouldn't from going down?



She had a better job opp to go to in the end there...anyway she sure as shit was around a lot longer than Key has been and will be if he heads off after the next election.

Yeah, and it was a better job overseas! because she and her cronies fucked this country up and then sat in parliament denying that the country's best and brightest were leaving in droves, while the numbers on welfare blossomed.

At least those of us left behind were able to fund the new barista courses at the polytech, along with Hip-hop tours and twilight golf.

Sad, yes, but also true.

We need to reduce our reliance on dairy. It is extremely risky to have so much of our income coming from one source, especially one that is as vulnerable as dairy. In a climate change environment, all we need are a couple of years of severe drought and/or flooding (like Australia), and dairy will stagger, and with it the NZ economy.

That presumably means reducing our reliance on agriculture in general, since all types are likely to suffer from drought or flooding at the same time. Except perhaps, I guess, longer term crops like forestry, which are probably a bit more robust.

They have a populace that would rather work than sit on welfare?

Edit: Perhaps they have governments that would rather pay people to work within their infrastructure and social services than stay at home?

that they're socialist scum and are foolishly putting the needs of their people ahead of commerce... bloody idiots...

According to wikiwotsit that's not it... (Norway 2.7% November 2010, cool site with lots of info too)

Perhaps the people realise that a "decent" society requires everyone in the country to be "looked after"...

If you want the bond rate to stay the same, put in place laws and rules that make NZ look attractive

But don't complain when you pay for school fees , get a speeding ticket or pay for a check up ....Acc ..WOF Rego .....( wonder how many services we use on a daily basil that are affected by user pays?)

the only people that will suffer are the poor , ( think that you are ok , ??? one wee cock up can make us poor as quick as look at ya ,, 350 000 worth of house , been paying for 10 years all good,,,,, then fall off bike, cant work , on the sickness benifit , Washing machine packs a sad given money , comes out of sickness benefit ...)


the way I see thing , don't use bank (cheap) credit , use family first.

buy local, avoid the middle man

vote for anything that has half a social concern

avoid people who think economic theory will be the key, ( still waiting for some

think to trickle down ? I am!!)

say no to money making laws, such as tougher speed limits ( 4kmph limits etc )

Work hard, tighten the belt . Save the money ( then spend it on a bike)
