Political Spending Outrage

**Swoop** · 13th August 2006, 21:50

The very short attention span of kiwis.....

The three years of government (in a nutshell):
1st year after election: kick the voters in the balls.
2nd year: pick them up off the floor.
3rd year: dust them off and tell them what good people they are...
re-election time.

Unfortunately the kiwi cannot remember being fu*ked over longer than a year ago. Hopefully you can remember the enjoyment of being told at the last election, that you will get a tax cut? When there is billions of surplus tax dollars being collected in various ways, you will get a tax cut to enable you to spend the same amount as a packet of chewing gum... in 3 years time.

Remember how you have been treated by YOUR representatives at the next election.

Perhaps that's because it's a secret ballot?

I voted labour.

According to the "statistics", South Auckland was the predominant area that forced the election into the red...

What an effing crock of shit. Who voted for these fucktards.

And National is any different????

I dont think so!

National wont take my hard earned money and give it to people who earn more than me just because they have *decided* to have children.

I am on an above average salary. I cannot afford to buy a house. My tax money is going to other people who earn more than me.

They will if it suits them - lets face it - they're all a bunch of crooks! Just that they get more arrogant the longer they are in power!

Well on this particular issue they are. National wrongly spent $10,000 and have repaid it.

Labour wrongly spent $400,000 and aren't going to repay it. New Zealand First are squirming too.

I have to admit I saw red on this... it's not the amount of cash involved - it's the principle.

They blew their budget which assisted to get into power only to change the rules such that their budget was not blown...??!!??

WTF?

This sets a precendent for any future parties to spend all they want, call it taxpayer money, then change the rules after they get into power to suit themselves and/or disadvantage other parties. They've gone from being too PC to full of BS
