• Labour's stupid winter bribe.

    From JohnO@3:770/3 to All on Tuesday, July 11, 2017 20:18:57
    So, Labour's incompetent policy dimwits propose to pay $450/$700 to super-annuitants, purportedly to help old dears afford to keep warm in winter.

    WTF? So NZ's growing population of OAPs are set to get an unaffordable extra payment regardless of their financial state. Someone with independent wealth and income in the millions would still get it? Idiocy.
    But it gets worse. It's a cash payment. They can do what they want with it. The
    well-off pensioners could spend it at the bar on their Fiji winter holiday!

    Yep, Labour wants to tax the shit out of hard working Kiwis to help pay for rich super-annuitants to go on winter holidays, in effect.

    Labour are so incompetent.

    Change that to desperate to get their noses in the trough.
    Any lie to gain a position from whence they will find 'Owing to a
    current situation' their bribe is not feasible

    Indeed the well-off pensioners could spend it at the Bar on their Fiji
    winter holiday - far better to have National give away enough tax to
    pay for the holiday - "right"? JohnO?

    Just another desperate and ill conceived bribe to try and garner votes
    JohnO. Will only work for the budgeting useless like Rich and Little.

    As usual you talk about a tiny number Rich. Most OAPs are like me quite
    able to manage our finances so we have money aside to cover winter power
    costs. Something you and your glorious Labour party are obviously
    incapable of doing.

    Pooh

    And don't forget the newer and bigger welfare pit called Working
    for Families. "Labor 2017 motto , Keeping people on welfare"

    What do you mean by "give away enough tax"?

    The government doesn't give tax, it takes it. It gives welfare in the form
    of WFF, pensions, employment supplements etc.
