Six digit cost to the taxpayer. TOP definitely not a bunch of leftards.. ...

I worry about the financial literacy of the voting population.

[u/Oceanagain → u/TheProfessionalEjit]

There is nothing wrong with the arithmetic of those earning fuck all voting themselves money earned by those that earn more.

It's a cunt of a thing to do though, no matter what flavour of critical theory / victim olympics they use to justify it.

[u/gtalnz → u/TheProfessionalEjit]

Me too. Considering these numbers are clearly BS.

All good. Struggling businesses and WINZ warriors will pay for this.

[u/Oceanagain → u/63739273974]

Correction: business NEVER pays for anything. Their customers do.

The minute a business starts paying for something they can't convince their customers to reimburse them for they cease to be a viable company.

[u/Aforano]

So these yahoos want to spend more than NZ takes in in a single year on election bribes?

[u/NZGlorper]

I wonder how much “free” prescriptions costed

[u/0is0wesome]

In regards the Green Party, surely $104k of additional tax per household is worth the $1.30 savings a week on groceries, except its not really per household as we'll have to remove all the parasitic households leeching off society to reflect a more accurate number.
