The Finance Minister also talked about the real world even though she had a Professor of Taxation who worked for KPMG questioning the validity of her model.

    National looked like it was sleep walking to victory and then it starts talking about pouring petrol on an already overheated property market. Where is all this foreign money going to come from? Ah, mostly from a country that the U.S.A is increasingly at odds with geopolitically. A smart long term strategy? Where is the desire for real tax reform? It is more inflationary to borrow and pay interest on debt than to just create the money for hospitals and schools. Most money in the system is now electronic anyway. Why not abolish income taxes and just have a consumption tax? The economy would boom.

    • @stephenduncan8292
      @stephenduncan8292 8 месяцев назад

      The economy of people would boom with only a consumption GST value-added tax - until unemployment ROSE, consumption expenditures FELL, the tax take FELL, and then governments' ability to support the poor would be compromised?
      PS: on your opening point maybe National knows it can't win, is sleepwalking into NZ political history, so best put on the 'best show' it can ? Clue: the first National-Luxon Annual Conference featured a hush-hush presentation by a former Thatcher adviser. That's 1979-83 'Thatcher Years' out of date (isn't it ?)
