    Rich have you seen this? Your support team suggesting the same as National, tax cuts. I guess that means one less string to your bow.

    It is a bit confusing as there is no tax to $10k and a 2.5% wealth tax over $2 million. Along with an increase to 45% over $180K. So like all tax cuts it really needs a table to find out who benefits.
    The Greens are desperate for Labour voters....

    This is clearly no tax cut, it's a tax increase to achieve the woke
    goal of "equity". And a "wealth tax" is pure theft, they want to
    outright confiscate people's money every year. Did Stuff really label
    that as a "tax cut"? Never buy into the media spin, always assume the
    media is lying to you, as a first take.

    The final result of socialism is that everyone lives in poverty except
    for the rulers. But if they bring in a "wealth tax", first all the
    well-to-do will flee NZ, then the rest of us settle into the uniform
    poverty of a third-world country, and lose our electricity into the
    bargain.

    Once again they make the ludicrous claim that people can't feed their
    kids, when the poorest people have the fattest kids nowadays, as
    anyone can see who actually looks.
