| Don Brash: Budget fails to deliver to working rich |
Monday, 01 March 2004 12:00
The 2004 Budget is, at its core a belated series of bribes by the most cynical Government in New Zealand 's history. This budget is merely an attempt to buy-off the electorate ahead of October's election.
Sure low- and middle-income families with children will get some relief from this Budget. Sure those low life, work for minimum wage losers, who have had it too good, for too long in this country will get something, but what about all the other hard-working New Zealanders?
What about the single person trying to get a small business off the ground?
What about the Corporate Lawyer, struggling to pay off his second holiday home?
What about the beleaguered Real Estate Agent making $5000 a day selling shoddy apartments to unsuspecting home buyers?
Where is the assistance for them and more importantly where is the assistance for ME!
Where's MY family support? Where's MY hip replacement? Where's MY accommodation supplement?
This attempt to bribe the poor of New Zealand is pathetic and spineless. My method of bribing the electorate would be far more legitimate because I intend to pander to the rich and the white of this country. I will appeal to those poor disenfranchised souls who got their education well before student loans were introduced and have selflessly reaped the benefits of the lowered tax rate ever since.
Tax cuts for the rich are the only way this country will move forward. Look at what the latest round of tax cuts for the mega wealthy have done for the people of America . Ask the 40 million below the poverty line if they were better before President Bush's generous Tax cuts or after, and I am sure they will tell you the same thing I am.
Tax cuts for those earning over $80000 a year are the only way forward. Do you think season's passes at Whakapapa pay for themselves for Christsakes?
