The National Party Politicians giveth great tax cut promises, knowing that the National Party Pickpockets will taketh away. Maurice Williamson, National’s transport spokesman, gives us the heads up on what is to follow - any money spent on the common good such as major roading projects will be rapidly recovered by way of tolls. Goodbye tax cuts.
Sleeping for nine years on the opposition benches, dreaming about policies of the past, have done nothing for their ability to deal with the here and now.
Maurice Williamson’s comments on TVNZ’s Agenda programme about private sector funding and road tolls confirm the fact that National is still a classical conservative party - they will do nothing more than fiddle with the status quo.
The problems of the day - debt; taxes; and the funding of health, education, environmental protection and infrastructure development - will not be solved by the political parties of status quo.

Notes and coins make up less than three percent of the money in circulation. Ninety seven percent of our money supply is on loan to us at interest from those banks. Actively encouraged banks to charge "rental" for this money at some of the highest interest rates in the developed world. Used high interest rates as a blunt lever to control inflation, while agreeing to exclude the resultant costs from the Price Index, so that their cost-inflationary effects do not allow pensions and awards to compensate for these. Deliberately used interest rate fluctuations to maintain an unemployed "pool" of about four percent of the workforce in order to hold down wage rates. Fa...
