So how do you propose to engender the common welfare, and collective security (coughs)....
Quote:Just look at that disgraced ex NZ PM.
Horsehead reckons she was the only truth.
Governments have been lying to us for years, and now the dumb bitch wants to be the pinnacle of truth. Bwahahahaha.
She didn't understand the neo-liberal/neo classical economic system she was working in, which is the reason why she couldn't reduce poverty and build more social housing, as she promised.
Hence her ratings plummeted.
Quote:No wonder people are turning on governments.
They're all lying through their teeth on a daily basis while they double down on taking everything we have.
Not quite: the rich are getting richer, but politicians don't understand why.
Quote:there will be no gst introduced if I become prime minister.
Well, governments are forced to
tax in order to spend. As long as you accept that proposition, you are part of the problem; the system which pits taxpayers against taxpayers is the culprit.
Quote:Why can't they just tell the truth for a change?
because they, like you, think household budgets are the same as a
currency-issuing government's budget.
Quote:Come out and say that they want us as battery hens.
Adern genuinely thought she would be able to reduce poverty in NZ, just by stating it as a goal (while her political opponents just shrug it off as 'unrealistic') thinking the population will agree to
tax increases to better support the poor. The population will NOT agree to tax increases, as parties of the Left always find out eventually.

The trade system is also based on neoclassical free trade
ideology, to enrich wealthy corporations which wield more power than governments.
Quote:The government has brought this on themselves but are blaming us for their incompetent behaviour.
We will need to overthrow the current dominant neoliberal/neoclassical economic system, to improve the general welfare.
