We should tax land. Land is a “common”, so the privilege of private ownership should be paid for through a land value tax. And since capital gain is built into the value of land the latter also taxes capital gain.

She took a post to support the likes of the Christchurch massacre never happening again. Do your homework and you with a haven is equivalent to you parking your car outside a primary school.

I’ve seen the old boys club corruption first hand with regards a particular family I was involved with. For all their wealth, they were all fucked up and boring, playing stupid games. Tax the fuckers.

“more crucially, our politicians lack the courage required to provide leadership on taxation reform.”

C’mon Bryce – throw your hat in the ring – there are plenty of left wing champions commentating from the sidelines but few of substance in the game.

NZ needs to move on quickly from this neo-liberal shit fest and come up with something more humanist in nature, fast.

Do we have to rely on the libertarians to actually kick some life into this dog. God help us.
