So, don't be jealous of the rich.
Why? Because he says so!:rolleyes::groan:


Those earning more than $500,000 a year would get a $481-a-week tax cut
But it is expected to deliver little more than $6 a week extra to low and middle-income earners:waughh::eek:

885812 2010-05-17 22:48:00 Isn't there a saying or old proverb that goes something along the lines of:

"The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer".

But we voted a National government in, what more did we really expect?

885815 2010-05-17 22:58:00 Damn ... just remembered that John has a good accountant ... may get the tax cut, but wont have any earnings for the year and probably gets a bloody great return for being on a low income. SP8's (9836)
885816 2010-05-17 23:00:00 Why should I be jealous of people who studied hard, and worked their arses off to get to the positions they are in now (politicians excluded), when I had those same opportunities available to me, bit I dropped out of University (twice), bummed around, did my OE and had a good time?

It's all about choices..

885819 2010-05-17 23:16:00 um, the people on higher incomes get a higher tax cut because they already pay more tax than low income people... Its not as if the low income earners will pay MORE tax than the high income earners...

I would have thought this was obvious.

885820 2010-05-17 23:27:00 I would have thought this was obvious.

Yep, very obvious, makes all the difference to people on low and middle
incomes who are struggling to feed the family and have had no pay rise since
the last government left.

The next election just got a whole lot more interesting.
Shonkey John Key may well turn out to be a one term wonder:banana
