Those of us that are cryptic get it mikesh. Yes the message was clear.

Look at the business knowledge Luxon has imposed on us. It has created a recession and business retail and corporate are going belly up left, right and centre. And Willis’s answer to that is to force workers into cities to spend money that it is not disposable.
Everything about your ideological post is wrong Trevor. The real world for you is delusional.

Labour (well Chippy, Jacinda and Grantie – were all enamored by soft neoliberalism) leadership refused to allow the tax – although at least Chippy is now not ruling it out now that he has no power to make such decisions.

Jesus Trevor. Can you not see the generational inequities built into our tax system? As for your comment that the only people in favour of a CGT are those that have no capital to tax. Ever wondered why? They are too stretched paying student loans, GST on everything they buy, and inflated rent that is partly caused by our distorted tax system that encourages investment in non productive assets. They will also be expected to shoulder the burden of our superannuation debacle and our generations refusal to fund infrastructure as things fall apart through latent neglect. Not a great outlook for anyone in their early 20’s. All because we refuse to wake up to the fact that functioning societies cost and the status quo is nothing less than the generational theft of younger New Zealander’s future by the so called boomer generation.

No. I don’t think we should all be able to claim the same on our own mortgages. I don’t think that landlords should be able to claim deductions for interest either. I do think, however, that they should be able to claim depreciation, but subject to an excess depreciation claw back when the property is sold. Being able to claim depreciation on the run would help with cash flow.

Perhaps, if interest were deductible, there should be a claw back for interest claimed.

A landlord selling a property doesn’t make money from “others” when he sells it. The only one he makes money from is the buyer.

Did he actually say something in between the expletives and name calling ?

CGT “happens ” in about every OECD country Trevor. It’s utter rubbish to compare CGT to GST regimes in terms of complexity.

I understand your post .It was the same for GST off fruit and veg Hipkins great offer .People say it happens in Australia but they do not recognize the cost to do it . As with many left policies they look good on paper but not when it comes tomthe real-world. This is because they have little or no business knowledge.

The only ones that don’t vote for it are neoliberalistic selfish cunts making money from others. They vote National ,ACT and NZ and are the economy rapists.
And Trevor if you believe everyone has the same ability to own 8 houses, then you are fucking retarded.
