Labour unveils its tax policy

Grant pull your head in, National is also a socialist policy so using the word for dramatic effect just looks idiotic.

Labour rewards community Grant which leads to decreased crime, National increases the crime rate each and every time it is in power.

National only favours the rich and only the rich have tirades like you, however nothing much of what you said is actually true.

You just happen to think that by posting it, some poor saps will believe you and you can keep National in power and they can keep increasing the gap between rich and poor.

Just how much was it that you earnt per year again Grant?.

And seriously... each and everytime you refer to labour as a socialist party you forget that so is National.

It doesnt help your cause when you dont seem intelligent enough to realise socialists are what our two main political parties are.

And not just labour you idiot.

Lightseed do you ever get tired of being wrong?

Paul why are U shouting ? - calm down before U have a stroke. Remember it was Labours mismanagement that let NZ slid down the OECD ladder. Labour does not reward success and self improvement - they continue with there socialist mantra and benefit for all mentality which is why we are paying big time now for our dept.
You do sound bitter and twisted. Lie down and get some sleep.

Tax all income at over $500k at 100%, confiscate all estates worth over $10 million.

Do not forget. It was the new Labour government that destroyed all incentive for the masses by introducing the original draconian tax levels....and you all think it's great for them to do it again?? Are you serious? Get off your bums, get educated and aspire to be something rather than the dregs of the previous 'hand out' labour voters, many of whom have now seen the light and no longer wish to crucify success.

@Lightseed: Yes pray enlighten us as to what measures have been put into place by National that will enforce payment of taxes by the rich/wealthy?

@lightseed
Maybe you could enlighten us as to the changes national have made that force rich people to pay taxes? Because i haven't seen any yet.

clifford, most wealthy people will start paying tax under national. Under labour so many loop holes existed in tax that they could get away without paying much tax. The govts main intake has been from middle class people as wealthy people under labour escaped paying tax.

Not that it will make alot of difference.. those at the top always find loopholes.. whether its investment properties, tax loopholes such as family trusts and ripping off the working for families package.

Those at the time have invested alot of money in finding ways to screw the system... so when National gives them a tax break.. is that going to stop? if you believe it will then you have never seen the greed of a rich person.
