I'm being screwed from both ends. Was a National supporter in the past, but with me being what I am, my family would shoot me if I voted for them... well, at least my extended family..

[m325i 705]

WERD

double word.

[Carl 3]

Anyone know about this white boy national front kid vying for a seat?

I'm all for equal rights, i'm personally sick of "race based", "sexual orientation based", "number of kids based" etc. policies but especially the latter, if you want a big family then that's cool but don't ask the rest of us to fund your little endeavour.

Tane, vote whatever you want and lie to your extended family

[Surge 1]

National, Because I'm too young to bludge the dole.. If I wanted to live of the dole - Labour!

Helens been in for too long and is getting sillyer with age, need a stir up.

Here's one I uplifted from a different forum (Australian example)

Suppose that every night, ten men go out for dinner at Il Casino. The bill for all ten comes to $100. They decide to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes, and it goes like this:

The first four men (the poorest) paid nothing

The fifth paid $1

The sixth $3

The seventh $7

The eighth $12

The ninth $18

The tenth man (the richest) paid $59

All 10 are quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner says: "Since you are all such good customers, I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20."

So now their dinner for ten only costs $80. The group still decides to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. The first four men are unaffected. They will still eat for free.

But how should the other six, the paying customers, divvy up the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his "fair share"?

They realise that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtract that from everybody's share, then the fifth and sixth men would each end up being paid to eat. The restaurateur suggests reducing each man's bill by roughly the same percentage, thus:

The fifth man pays nothing (like the first four) instead of $1 (100%saving)

The sixth pays $2 instead of $3 (33% saving)

The seventh pays $5 instead of $7 (28% saving)

The eighth pays $9 instead of $12 (25% saving)

The ninth pays $14 instead of $18 (22% saving)

The tenth pays $49 instead of $59 (16% saving)

Each of the six are better off, and the first four continue to eat for free, as now does the fifth - but outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

" I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man "but he got $10!"

" That's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than me!"

" That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!"

" Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"

The nine men then surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for dinner. The nine sat down and ate without him, but when they came to pay the bill, they discovered that they didn't have enough money between all of them to meet even half of the bill!

That, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up at the table anymore.

That was an excellent example. Go send it to the herald. :mosh: :mosh:

I hate it when people dont understand that people making more money than them is 'fair'...

[westy 614]

Heartless right wingers.

So say all of us....

I just don't know how people could vote for the loony parties - Greens, NZ First, Destiny etc I guess they're designed to suit the 'hard of thinking' voter ....

Anyone who followed economics, would see that ACT makes sense. Damn communist hippies..

Go Winston. f**k hes the man :mosh:

National or NZ First, undecided atm.

Love the anti Green brochures being handed around, and I have to laugh everytime I drive past a Maori sign in Wellington that gets knocked down after it goes up- about 4 times now.
