Yep, just a matter of balancing the books - losing a few billion a year is going to help with that :thumbs: As to the shortfall? I can try and find exactly how much we spend per year, but it'd be pretty hard to find. However, if you read this - www.nzherald.co.nz - you'll see in 62 out of 122 have been settled, costing, so far, $1.4 billion. $3 billion a year in savings? No way!	Nick G (16709)
1379899	2014-07-24 01:16:00	Conservative for me. Flat best method of collecting tax. I disagree. I think a bracketed system is best.	Nick G (16709)
1379900	2014-07-24 01:31:00	Yep, just a matter of balancing the books - Yep it sure is Lets not forget the books are so out of wack the govt is/was borrowing $75Million PER WEEK & is paying $3.6Billion a year interest So yeah, lets balance those books. Are you really willing to do what it will takes .... Thats going to means HUGE permanent cuts in spending & increased taxes NOT tax relief & more spending that the punters allways want & get cutting a little bit here & there just wont do it.	1101 (13337)

No, it's not going to be easy. But cutting tax rates, and losing $3 billion a year in GST is going to blow an even larger hole in the budget.	Nick G (16709)

Yes, finding the exact up to date amounts can be difficult but let’s say I’ve found half, but how about THIS (www.treasury.govt.nz). Yes it’s 2011, so the numbers will have grown, but we can’t have racism so it will have to go, along of course with the Waitangi Tribunal Gravy Train.. Make sure you read it all carefully a couple of times. ;) And here is some of the Government’s income which wouldn’t take much manipulating to make up $3b. 5854	B.M. (505)

Only leaves $2.8 billion per year left to find, nearly there :rolleyes::rolleyes: If it wouldn't take much manipulating, show me how you'd do it.	Nick G (16709)
1379904	2014-07-24 02:46:00	And here is some of the Government’s income which wouldn’t take much manipulating to make up $3b. ah..increase gst to 20% should do it	1101 (13337)
1379905	2014-07-24 03:02:00	No problem, wipe the Treaty Settlements and Waitangi Tribunal gravy train for a start. ;) Then wipe the other Race Based costs. ;) Job done. :) Wouldn't it be cheaper to cut all the sport funding for professional teams?	the_bogan (9949)

A binding "war or peace" referendum in September 1939 would have seen Britain overrun by Nazi Germany before you could have said Neville Chamberlain. Lets have a binding referendum to scrap all forms of taxation, then another to have one to one teacher pupil ratios, and another for unlimited elective surgery..........and so on and so on.........(reductio ad absurdum)	Terry Porritt (14)
