How sad is this Labour Government

[bondagebunny]

That it takes out full page ads in the Newspapers offering state paid benefits to house holds on 70,000 a year.

ANd how greedy are the sad sods lining up to take them.

If they can't make ends met on 70 grand why the f**k should they have some of my money.

Labour needs to go and go soon.

and the alternative ????? bad or worse ??? voting is bloody hard, its a choice of who dont you want in controll.

[Motu]

Yeah,let's get National in,we'll work half the time for twice the money,everyone will be employed and we will be a world superpower.Boot Labour out for sure,but look for no change apart from the names of those who line their pockets with voter money.

The hairy carpet licker who runs this country pisses me off too mate. Labour have rooted the defence force. Turned the police into a psuedo revenue department. Hard working folk like us deserve a tax break too.

National have pledged to focus less on revenue gathering traffic and more on serious crime. Works for me.

i reckon they need to go too, but more because of all the bad laws they have brought in over their current term in office (eg. law & order, employment relation bill, drinking age, prostitutes & homo rights etc).

not too sure if the next voted government of NZ will be any better, probly not, but I just hope it's not Labour.

wot you being so serious for anyway bunny?

They all revert to type;
Labour just can't resist social engineering. They know what's best for us like all Socialists.
National will suck us dry to support their fat-cat mates. Don't think Ruthenasia has been forgotten.
ACT are the fat-cat mates
Greens? Cardigans and long dirty hair. Composting your own shit. I think I'm going to be sick.
Winston? I think I'll vote for him just because he assumed my name when he was young. (He wanted people to think he was Italian)
Dunn? Does commonsense have to be sooooo boooorrrring?
I want the McGillicuddy Serious Party back, the one political party the really addressed my concerns.

So the Labour government loses your vote because you think they're not spending your money wisely. How novel...

But don't go off and sulk, bunnikins. At least your posts have entertainment value.

Remember it is a graduated scale, and means very little to people on 70,000 a year...

I'm on 12k per year student budget

I find it a michael take what the government is doing. Basically paying people to have kids. And I thought social engineering was band in 1945.

Considering the sods on 70k will be paying 39 cents in the dollar on the last 10k of that tax. You'd think it would be better to just lower the tax rate.

A good government should do only what other people cant do. It should leave everything else alone.

The problem is that the divisions for tax rates have not historically been tied to inflation....Tax increases by stealth...

Re the last point, does that include saving for retirement?

Seem to recall something about market rentals for state house tenents. Yep that was National. That's why we now have people in state housing earining $70 thou. Like who put them there?? National

I see Helen is still streets ahead of anyone else in the prefered Prime Minister 'thing.' Maybe a little bondage session like handcuffs to keep you away from the keyboard. When can we start.???

Now you've gone and made me feel sorry for BB after that spiel Mike - that ride in the cold & wet must have upset you somewhat?

Yes, most likely. Upon reconsideration, I agree that my tirade was insensitive, unwarranted and downright churlish.

Now I feel a lot better.

Thats what I thought when I read that as well. I wondered if I had missed
something these past few years... for 70 grand to be considered low income

Labour is a waste of space

National makes sure the corporates & multi nationals get larger while the little
fulla in business (80% of business is SME) has an even harder time of it
