It certainly is. The introduction of it would certainly have decreased upward pressure on wage and salaries.
You seem to have forgotten the numbers associated with WFF when it was introduced. The rich prick income threshold was $60,000 but a family could qualify for WFF with earning up to $120,000. Would you like to reconsider that people who had access to this ...
Perhaps instead of funding a union so the union can fund Labour you could put that money into your own KiwiSaver.
It wasn't for the poorer - it was middle class welfare to further entrench welfare dependency.
That's a good question, why didn't Labour put benefits up ? I'm picking it's because they were already fighting the normal high inflation we get under high tax and spend governments and they decided it was better that beneficiaries were struggling more ...
I think you'll need to read a little further than the link I provided to get the full picture. But I guess if you haven't noticed that socialism always fails yet then you won't be wanting to read the full context of the failure of one size fits all state ...
Look what you unionist lovers of big monopoly state control will bring to NZ If you get things your way; Venezuela Reaches the Final Stage of Socialism: No Toilet Paper
I've got 2 bottles of wine, want to play Amy Winehands while I pull your hair ?
You are right - he is on the wrong channel. TV3 can't just push the agenda of the government subsidised by tax payers money in marvellous socialist la la no accountability land.
Sorry burt, I thought you said you ...
Cutting down on tax cheats - I agree NZ should do this. If we had simple tax laws and flatter tax rates it would be pretty simple wouldn't it. With our progressive tax regimes, different rates for different income vehicles and a plethora of benefits, tax ...
There is no point in me telling you - you're going to ignore my information anyway. I've said she pays no tax, she's got every right to argue that - I don't see her denying it on this blog. But just for you I'll ask her every time I see her post on this ...
Campbell isn’t “left” you fool... We're not in Guatemala now ropata... ... and my preferred political system is one that is accountable and honest, not a pack of capitalist bankster union cronies selling ripping off the future of NZ. workers to fund ...
Find out for yourself try this search in google; 'burt penny jealous freehold house site:www.kiwiblog.co.nz' Vary them to include/exclude; tax, rates, government funded services, multi national banks, google, fraud of a lefty, freehold, occupy and see what...
She stated it when pressed in a blog post on kiwiblog. She actually went as far as mocking me saying I was jealous she had a freehold property while I was renting. She's a class act lefty that one.
Tracey If he has a freehold house in Auckland then he'd be wealthy by anyone's measure. If he was wealthy and banging on that wealthy people should pay more tax while paying none himself then I'd call him a fraud - like I do with Penny ( I'm a hard core ...
Of course they should question the state. But I think you are confused. TV3 isn't a state run monopoly where dear leader calls the shots. It's a business and Campbell's ratings are shit. See in your ideal lefty ( guaranteed to fail ideology ) there is no ...
If this guy lived in his own freehold house, paid no taxes and no rates while telling other wealthy people they should pay more tax - would he be a hero to you for acting just like you do ?
So those who want this leftard clap trap show and are prepared to put your own money behind it raise your hands ? anyone ? Anyone at all ?
I hope we do apply my thinking to finance companies, casinos, stadiums etc. That is - if they can't stand on their own 2 feet they fail. Not have them propped up with tax payers or other people's money when the few who want/use them pay nothing. Which is ...
I think I understand how the funding of his show works. If he gets good ratings advertisers climb over each other for advertising slots. If he gets shit ratings advertisers don't want slots in his show. TV3 do their job earning a return for their share ...
$20/week each = $520,000/week - stop expecting other people to pay for the show that you want !
A dumb lefty to thick to notice his preferred ( well probably his parents preferred ) ideology is a complete failure and has failed for this country every time it's been tried for the last 50+ years. It's hard to imagine the 23% crowd can live without this...

From Little's 'future of work' speech; (Emphasis added) People on middle incomes, people who own a small business, people who work on contract, who are doing their best to earn a crust and get ahead, they are feeling forgotten. But apparently this guy is a...
Typical apologist response - blame the victim.
Such a turn around from you Colonial Rawshark http://thestandard.org.nz/andrew-little-the-future-of-work/#comment-934011 This quote from Little's speech seems pretty funny now though; People on middle incomes, people who own a small business, people who ...

So do I, Haunui College isn't a state run school. The 100% result was in Cambridge exams which are not standard NZ high school curriculum. How much more proof do you need that one size doesn't fit all in education ?
We are indeed being told not to help the poor - by Labour and their activist supporters. Matt McCarten, the lefty who refused to pay his PAYE as Chief of Staff, he’s like having Penny Bright the lefty who has a freehold house, pays no tax and won’t pay her...
