I think we can all find silly examples, however, China has a form of slave labour and dumps shit whenever possible.
Are they doing ok or have I missed something?
I think you get the basic tenent of my argument.
This country needs employers and employment or the drain will just get bigger and we will drop into it.
Just my opinion.
I am voting Guido Fawkes United
They are the only party that could fix NZ Politics.
Reactor Online. Sensors Online. Weapons Online. All Systems Nominal.
Just another leather clad Tinkerbell.
The Wanker on the Fucking Harley is going for a ride!
the top 10% wealthy in this country apparently pay 70% of the taxes.
Now the more successful my bosses business is and the more he makes is good for me and the other employees because he takes us along for the ride i.e i have a job, i get regular pay rises.
The boss spends money at other businesses on consumables or plant equipment, i spend money on my toys etc
Its no different in every business area, National needs to drive business growth, where as labour and its red-tape crap like ETS carbon taxes, capital gains etc all strangle this growth.
The selling of assets is the same, no one likes the idea but its standard business model really to free capital to invest in other areas of growth.
It really has to be done, we also need to remember that labour had several terms in power to have us debt free but they didnt, they spent it on socialist policies that have reaped little return.
They are moaning about our military now, Labour are the ones that moth balled the airforce rendering them worthless and wasting millons in maintenance, they bought the Lavs that had to be refitted, they sent the troops to afghanastan.
Some one mentioned trevor mallard, please if i assaulted a fellow employee at work id be down the road, but he keeps his job at $250k a year?? and dont forget Labour breaking the election spending rules only to retrospectively change the law to make it legal!!!!
i could go on and on....National inherited this, now they need time to fix it and one term aint long enough
Good for you. Just explain to me how the poor will ever get further ahead if there are no wealthy people. We just create money? Hitler tried....failed, Mugabe is still trying....still failing.
"Poor" is also part of an emotive phrase.
I have seen poor people throughout the world. New Zealand has no "poor". We do have uneducated sector who have no skills in managing finance and many in a welfare roundabout, but no poor. Poor in every country that I have seen them in have been out working to make a dollar or a Ringit or a Baht etc. Not lurking in a welfare office.
This not meant to be a welfare beatup, but as a nation we need to understand that attacking the "so called" rich with a stick to beat more money out of them to give to the poor (read voters) is Marxism, not socialism. Remember, Helen Clarke was a leading light in the Socialist International Organisation for many years so Marx came naturally to her.
Cheers
That really worked well in the USA....Europe.... etc etc , didn't it......Originally Posted by DRG
You wouldn't be espousing the "trickle down" effect there, would you.......so beloved by the neo-cons...... such a total crock of shit in reality.Just explain to me how the poor will ever get further ahead if there are no wealthy people
Agree with you there - "poor" is a state of mind where you become a victim of others - I prefered being "temporarily broke" or "impecunious"......"Poor" is also part of an emotive phrase.
“- He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”
I'd love to vote Green - I probably agree with more of their policies than any other Party. But a vote for the Greens is a vote for Labour - they've got a while to go before they're mature enough to be in a sensible Government...
Oh, and I've met Gareth Hughes - don't ever meet him if you want to keep liking him. He's the most obnoxious politician I've ever met (including Helen Clark)
Yep - at that Toy Run thing we did, someone asked Goff if he'd reverse the ACC hikes and his answer was "Yeah, of course we will"....
Nek minnit...
I read something similar a couple of months after the Toy Run - Goff saying "they'd look at it". Politican speak for "nope - rich prick bikers can keep paying it" (think about it - the "poor" don't ride bikes anymore with cheap Jap imports). It's pretty hard for pollies to give up easy revenue....
