| 861654 | 2010-02-26 17:56:00 | I would rather be young and broke than old and rich. Intend working until I am too feeble then do something like bungee jump without a bungee. Aaah Prefect... perhaps you should wait till you get to be old, before you make comments like that. Ken |

| 861657 | 2010-02-26 19:36:00 | I am not a maths wizard so this might be wrong but if my pension is $300/week of which I spend every cent of that, then with GST at 12.5% I donate to the Government $37.50 I have purchased good to the value of $262.50 If my pension is increased by 2% I now get $306. When GST goes up to 15% then I donate to the government $45.90 I have purchased goods to the value of $260.10. A net loss of $2.40 in my spending power. And of course the costs of all goods will rise Screw the pensioners I thought Key said you got the 2% + some other increase?... |

| 861658 | 2010-02-26 19:39:00 | He said 2% plus some undefined tax cut. He has also not mentioned other low income people at all. I qualify as low income. Terrific my rates are already going to more than double, then there will be another 2.5% on top of them as well. Along with everything else....... |

| 861663 | 2010-02-26 22:21:00 | The concept of age moves as you grow older. Old is always anyone more than 10 years older than your current age. I have no time for the politics of envy. Most of the people I have met that are significantly richer than I have either worked a lot harder than I wish to or have some special talent that I do not. Good luck to them. I also have no time for thieves. |
