Can anyone answer these questions that puzzle me?
Does anyone know of a couple without kids who have the average household income of $120,000?
Why on earth would anyone vote for someone that promises these yuppies $100 a week tax relief?
What planet are they from ?
And why are pensions and benefits taxed?
If people receive these and have no other incomes then why does the Government give with one hand and take back with the other?
Why are there multi millionaires that do not need the pension who continue to take this handout?
These people are the same ones that can afford lawyers and create tax havens (Trusts) so that their money cannot be taken. At present it is reported NZ has to borrow over $700 million per day. Are these hedge funds the same money that is used for Government Securities? These Kiwi Bonds are inflation indexed and can only be bought by registered counterparties? The owners can only be residents of New Zealand. So while the wealthy James Fletcher resides in a prison costing us $120,000 per year his wealth is piling up and adjusted according to inflation.
Other prisoners benefits and pensions are stopped.
My vote October 14 goes to whomever is going to introduce Capital Gains Taxes. They are all frightened of the wealth tax costing them votes.
Poll: Are our Kiwi summer holidays helping us recharge, or holding the economy back? ☀️🥝

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
