Cullen claims significant tax cut policy

[steved]

The old dog is trying to buy the voters (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/...ectid=10501509) and reduce the sting of National's totally awesome tax cut 'policies', which admittedly are unstated at this time. I don't care who gives me tax cuts as long as someone does soon and keeps them coming.

My question is, what do you think Cullen will actually put out in his budget in May in regards to the tax cuts he has in mind for October 2008, April 2009 and April 2010?

What ever it is it won't be enough to stimulate the economy but it may enough for a Steak & Cheese pie.

He did this last election and we are still waiting ... and once again I see those who voted for him last time believing in this shite again!

So, voting for Labour IS an indication of a certain "intelligence level" then?

Now THAT's a bloody good way to put it (the double entendre was deliberate right?)

So, voting for Labour IS an indication of a certain "intelligence level" then?

More of an indication of individual potential, much like Union Membership.

I personally am a high flier - I back myswelf and don't want limpets hanging off me to limit my potential. Unions do exactly that - fuck 'em - they're not for me

Those needing the protectorate of a union are often (not always) unable or unwilling to deliver real value and thereby are unable to command real value... i.e. they get paid fuck all coz they do as little as they need to just to scrape by year on year.

I still haven't actually met anyone who voted labour (or will say they did publicly).

I one met someone who voted Green, but I made them cry and now we are no longer friends.

True story tho - at dinner the other night my daughter said "yay- I can vote this year" She then actually said she was going to vote Labour or Green because they were her favorite colours. When I hit the roof, spat dinner everywhere and got terribly upset with this she said it was funny that her vote was worth as much as mine.

Fucken democracy. When I become PM - all this shit is over!

Cullen hints at fast-track tax cuts (+video)
5:00AM Wednesday April 02, 2008
By Paula Oliver

But yesterday Dr Cullen couldn't resist baiting his political rivals in the House by saying he would deliver a three-year programme of significant tax changes, and they would be bigger than what he had previously offered in 2005.

You'd be stupid to believe that

[Grumpy Gnomb]

as soon as we get rid of this govt the better off we will be, so tax cuts or no tax cuts they just have to go

I did. I am sick of paying tax and getting nothing back - over hald my income goes on tax of one sort or another, and I have had enough of supporting no hopers and bludgers in Wellington. No dole-for-families here. Not even paid parental leave (wif e self employed for less than minimum wage). Don't forget the insidious hidden leveies, charges and of course, local body property taxes.
I would be $8300/year better off in Australia - about $5k from higher pay rates, and $3300 from the difference in tax rates. Just waiting for my registration...

I certainly DID.

Have a look at this thread and you'll understand why 40% of the people don't want tax cuts while the rest do. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=16243

i wasnt meaning its not a good thing
just i dont want it or care about it , and dont know who was ever suggesting that we should get tax cuts .
it just seemed to be all talk and still seems to be .
btw ony about 8500 better off in aus?
even for me it would be about that amount or more .
i have to agree with no payed parental leave , but lets not start me on the whole payed leave thing
cause im not going there .
