Last night’s 1News Verian political poll showed one New Zealand voter in three is now somewhere other than the two major parties, a huge change to prior elections.
Detached from reality, and also mostly broke students, from what I can tell.
There’s also a disturbing lack of empathy for the people that will be negatively affected by their policies, in particular a vilification of the elderly for wanting to live in their house post retirement. Maorimegacricket on r/newzealand is a notable example of this.
A lot of their supporters are, quite simply, not very pleasant people.
Honestly, their biggest issue is there’s not much wrong with our current tax system anyway. All we need to do is adjust the brackets for inflation, and perhaps tweak the rates a bit. We don’t need a radical overhaul.
Well I have to disagree with you on this. I think there’s plenty wrong with a tax system that distorts investment markets and heavily advantages people with wealth over those without by encouraging them to stash it in property, where there are a bunch of tax loopholes.
Whatever the fix for it, I don’t see how it can be fixed by tinkering with rates of income tax.
