The key thing here I think some are missing is – if the government takes money from you for any reason, it’s a tax.

That just dosnt sit right with me. The average wage back then was $60 give or take.

I think we are comparing to different eras.

Government whips always make the mistake of think students are worth a hundred thousand dollars, because there degrees are worth a hundred thousand. Ignoring the student loan worth a hundred and fifty thousand.

The government IMO destroys more money than it makes, in this day and age

“Today the NZ economy provides employment for more people than at any time in our history. That is largely the result of the economic policies adopted by successive governments in NZ for the past 30 years or so, including reducing income tax rates – Oxyood

Untrue.

Unemployment is much higher than it ever was.

More lies from an Act Party flunky.

Oxyood, so you’ve been banned from this site before and you’ve ignored that banning?? I thought your righties were big on respecting property rights?

Anyways, I guess Frank’s research much really bother you is you’ve coming back from under your rock, to post your rubbish.

What are you afraid of, I wonder??

“You should be careful doing that. I’m not the only one who’s spotted the nonsense in Franjs argument.” – Oxyood

Really, Oxy? Who else are you referring to? So far there’s only you here, parroting your right-wing garbage. If the “others” you are referring to are voices in your head, they don’t count.

I concur, BLiP. He does good research and backs it up with references.

The best that Act apologists like Oxyood can manage is to attempt to repeat garbage to cloud the issues. Doesn’t work. They only draw more attention to Frank’s research.

+1 Sam!
