Are they really being offset? even if the tax rate came down how much extra does GST cost us?Doesnt all of this give the wealthy much more than they had while we get no more than $30.00 people like John Key get an extra $500.00 per week.Peter Hughes and other execs get around an extra $1000.00 per week.And people like Paul Reynolds at Telecom get an extra $2400.00 per week or around $125,000 a year.I hate to disagree with the balancing out concept, but... what a rip.
