can you provide one definitive source that says using the median wage is a better indicator of an economies performance that isn't a nz labour politician / green politician in opposition?

Everything you just pointed out shows that the average wage is a better measure and that median wages only enter the conversation when someone wants to point out how poor someone else is. oh, and that tax cuts for the well off aren't a waste of money. at ...
i don't know? the housing bubble that started around 2002?
a meaningless one. if it meant something, it would have been used before the national party came to power.
it's partially privatized. the majority of it is still government owned. that's what it means when you have 51% of something.
they are projections, for all i know they could have got the dartboard out. maybe they forgot to carry the one when they factored in the change to consumer behaviour from the impact of the OCR. the difference between predictions and actuality is sometimes ...
while not wrong, i'm guessing what your proposal would be to replace it would be more wrong than the current status quo. i don't have the answer, but i'll know if ones wrong.
median wages are a fallacy, it automatically makes the "benchmark" wage lower as there are a lot more people on lower wages than their are on high ones. if we take the stupid measure that any income gets included into wage equations, median drops right ...
can you post your source for the assertion you made in your first question? you've found "all this research" (btw conceptual math looks like an early 90s conceptual html website, and it's hypothesis is rather weak, based on a tangetal equation that ...
I would contend that you are partially right with your first statement. ignoring the fact that for the last 6 years new zealanders have saved as opposed to borrow, even if it is only 3c on the dollar as opposed to borrowing 17c, you would be completely ...
no shit lanth, it's not like i'm making a huge song and dance about where the tax rate kicks in. do you fell rich though? would you feel any richer if being rich kicked in at $60k. seems national might be a bit more progressive than labour on that front.
i must have been busy as i missed the blatant logic leap in your statements. if the top statement is false then then the bottom statement must be true, and vice versa. good work tracey.
projections are based on many things. also, being projections they make assumptions about human behaviour, often invoking ceterus paribus. David Cunliffe was predicted to lead labour to victory, look how well those predictions are going! maybe treasury has...
I don't agree with your first assertion as most economists agree that a tax cut, at any time, let alone a recession, stimulates the economy more through private enterprise than the government can using higher taxes and higher spending. your second ...
at least 47%, and up to 54.6% of the population voting for the government that the tired old meme's are supposed to be attacking and bringing down because the voting populace don't have money in their pocket? that's a fair indicator too. gst is a ...
you haven't proven that people in the economy have no money to spend? just repeating lame meme's that tax cuts for the rich (earn over $70k a year? feel rich?) and that the assets are being sold (if you own more than 51% of something, you own it) doesn't ...
so you have no idea what i'm talking about. yet you honestly believe your opinion is important and should be listened to. OAB, you are a complete idiot. even the internet is poorer for you being on it. if you typify the average labourite, it's small wonder...
so you know the optimal exchange rate point for our dollar vs say the US$, and at the same time the AUS$? and how does that fit with the relationship between those two currencies? you wouldn't want to create the ability for arbitrage between the three ...
define fair. is it fair to consumers and poor people struggling to pay for petrol? or is it fair to exporters seeking greater revenue for their product?
But they do use those words framu? bro, cuz, chur, yeah boi. i hear it all the time from people in professional occupations in london, sydney, hong kong, paris. so what i'm describing is what i'm describing. not just kiwi culture, but POWER kiwis. it ...
it's a dialect of New Zealand english. plenty of people of all colours speak it you dumb shit. it's even been exported to places like london, hong kong, marseilles and bondi. it's spoken by the "power kiwis" those who have taken the most identifiable parts...
If labour didn't fuck up so much, the media wouldn't be able to report all the fuck ups. Hardly rocket science. Key and co fuck up less, so less gets reported. Alternatively, labour plays gotcha politics and fucks it up because either they get themselves ...
Durr Durr Durr but he did it too
what had shearer done for mt alberts economic development before he got parachuted in to lead the labour party?
you think this about breaking the rules. the electorate is not perceiving it that way. they remember the EFA changes and the accusations thrown at national by labour at the time. then they see those same labour politicians acting as if it's ok to have ...
electoral scrutiny hurts doesn't it? your saviour DC has his own american bagman now. how does it feel to see your symbol of hope turn so quickly? national hasn't even done anything, this is all internal. you'll moan about the msm dont' report things in a ...
this from the lady who blames all of labours woes on the msm.
oh you are so cute with your faith in monopolies. state owned good, private bad. we've never seen a state owned monopoly supply the government with super profits before have we? nope, just every electricity supplier owned by the government during the 4th ...
I just got bumped from 1gb to 5gb on my contract plan for nix. i use truckloads of data so this is helpful. orcon have always sucked the fat one, i use vodafone for home and whoever the business uses i'm with for mobile / business internet (vodafone i'm ...
i'd be paying the same if it was just technology improving draco. that i'm paying less is a result of competition in the market. 4 major players in a tiny market both geographically and population wise is competion enough in the mobile market. but we'll ...
