The government is today tabling a Bill to reduce personal taxes from 1 April 2009. Its intention is to pass this new tax legislation by Christmas and it believes this tax reduction will equip New Zealanders with some much needed extra cash in tough economic times.
This programme of tax reduction is a central part of the economic plan of the Government, because it believes in encouraging New Zealanders to get ahead under their own steam, and it views personal tax reductions as an essential step in ensuring that can happen.
And so when John said he had a big wad waiting for…well, look, it was a simple misunderstanding. I misheard was all and acted appropriately under circumstances that struggled to deal with my reality
“oh sure (hic) I’ll resign – eventually…. but look, it’s working, the Nice Man smiles and the punters love us….” ….oh shit!…did I say that out loud again?
There’s a set of inevitable problems. It’s like physics, right. If you push something up its gonna drop. If you give people cash, they have high marginal tax rates.
Okay, that’s it. You can’t get round that. Don thought he could but he couldn’t. So did John [Key] actually but you can’t. So the only raw choice is: fix the problem; or take money off them. And there’s no way you can fix the problems without taking the money off them. So we’re sitting here saying the punters are keen to keep it. They’re facing a recession. The last thing we want is to spend the whole election campaign with families of four on TV saying “Mr Key’s taking money off us”. You can’t do that.
