Cunning Tax relief for the Taxpayer

Posted 7th June 2019 to the Dominion Post Newspaper Wellington NZ

Here is a thought about our tax system...

Citizens with money pay the most tax...  So if our large poor population had more money, they could pay more tax and take the Burdon off the middle and upper middle class.
So a living wage would give the government a larger and deeper pocket to dig into.

Also it should be clear to tax payers that their money goes to help everyone especially themselves if they are down on their luck as well as doing nice social projects.
Tax should not be used to fix the mess caused by sub living wage effects.

No harm has come out of giving people a living wage in places where it has been put into practice. It was a slippery slope to have let it happen in the first place and it is a sign of incompetence
As well as unfettered property speculation.

Help our Lost Confused Politicians

Posted 18th December 2018 to the Southland Times Newspaper Invercargill NZ

It’s been 100 years since the end of the Great War of the European & American Bankers that spread a new power across the globe where the Anglo American Work ethic has changed the face of all cultures and all nations but now its looking a bit old and sad and the job of government cheering hard work and growth of industry seems out of date. Maybe it’s time for some progressive politics to blast fresh air on the cobwebs of political complacency.
Garry Tong & Tim Shadbolt have been great cheerleaders for progress but there has been a lot of questionable stuff outside the public mandate that are not the nuts and bolts of maintaining a healthy community.
If I was a mayor I would treat rates as a form of community insurance, also I would be cheerleading whistle blowers and have a reward system for our brightest and best in the community.
There are great changes ahead for us all in the world and the old ways are not going to be appropriate forever.  

New World Ordering: USA

Posted 11th June 2018 to the Otago Daily Times Newspaper Dunedin NZ

One wonders if the Political turmoil that has hit the USA is going to upset the rest of their allies who are also in a pickle about how to run their counties like corporations without turning them into moral dumpster fires in the process.

The US Republicans are playing the pound a metaphorical square peg in to a round hole game...

The White House now wants to somehow force the rest of the world to pay US companies more and money to keep US  workers employed because the White House dare not break their unwritten right-wing rule against improving any form of social safety net for US citizens.

So it seems Washington  has given up the carrot in favour of the big stick in 2018, now the rest of the western world might want to consider how this is new game is going to play out.

If we all want to live in 1st world state that only has time for people who are just COGS in the machine in a global market then the people are going to revolt when they have to compete with 3rd World Wages and lax 3rd world environmental standards.

And as more and more Americans play out hate against each other, the new political divide will once again be the Democratic Primaries between the Corporates and the Progressives, which sadly proved to be the worst case of election fraud in modern history (2016).
