The government creates wealth, the way a tick creates blood.

New Zealand
I want a government so small and efficient that it doesn’t matter who wins elections. Our lives should not be dictated by or beholden to the whims of politicians with grandiose views of their own self importance. Government should be a minuscule player in our existence.

I’m at the pub and there’s a Maori family here… Looks like Dad and three boys (ages around 8-16) And none of them are doing doing anything offensive, no swearing, no phones, no stupid haircuts, they’re well-dressed, and none of them are obese What did you think I was going to say, you racist bastards?

Marama Davidson just said that she WANTS billionaires to leave New Zealand, close their businesses and let the government run them…. She’s forgotten that billionaires create jobs and therefore pay the tax that she wants to waste. 🙄 Her hate drips off her.

Hipkins won the early battle. Luxon won the final three quarters. Poor debate overall, it needed to be more thorough & comprehensive. I doubt many votes were swayed tonight. One thing is for certain. The two main parties leaders are insipid & lack moral clarity & principles.

For all of their faults. I will give this government credit. In education, the changes Erica Stanford & David Seymour have made, have been outstanding, & our kids are clearly on a better path now then they were under Labour. The left should acknowledge that & get on board.

Who cares if your fiscal plan checks out. Just appear happy goddammit! The modern left...
My God I don't even care if Labour's fiscal plan balances or not, just listen and look at Willis in that press conference she gave to diss it. I wouldn't want someone so angy and bitter in charge of the honesty box at a school fair let alone a country's finances.

You’ve got to be kitten me! Over half a million dollars from New Zealand taxpayers going to a documentary about cats on the other side of the world... Is this really what taxpayers should be funding?

New Zealand has to stop lying to itself... 1. We are not a rich nation anymore. 2. We are facing bankruptcy and economic CHAOS is around the corner. 3. We can no longer afford the indulgences of a bloated government and mollycoddled Maori sucking out our national lifeblood. 4. We can no longer afford the dead weight of a 40% underclass permanently wedded to the state. 5. We have to become again an enterprise nation and lose the bureaucratic millstone. 6. Our nation rebuilding must start with a purge of the Marxist Maori Mafia that have seized control of the education sector. 7. Central Govt must take control of the bloated & corrupt local government sector by the scruff of the neck. 8. We must legislatively limited the extent to which the political class can tax and spend. 9. Radical new methods using technology must be developed to allow public oversight of spending and accountability for tax taken. 10. The TREATY of WAITANGI must once again become an irrelevant historical novelty only and be consigned to the rubbish tin like a used napkin after a meal. God defend NEW ZEALAND 🏉

When tax takes money out of your KiwiSaver, you also lose the future growth that money could have earned. ACT will leave that money in your account to keep growing, helping you retire with more.

The irony of Winston Peters saying we’re copying him on Mill Rd is that it would’ve been underway by 2020 if he hadn’t anointed Jacinda Ardern as PM in 2017.

𝗔𝗖𝗧 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘅 𝗼𝗻 𝗞𝗶𝘄𝗶𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 “ACT will remove the tax on KiwiSaver earnings, allowing those returns to stay invested and generate savings for generations to come,” says ACT Leader David Seymour. “Other parties want to force your money into KiwiSaver, then tax you. ACT says it should be your choice, but if you save for the future we will let you get the full benefit of compounding returns instead of taxing you every step of the way. “Every other party at this election wants to make New Zealanders put more money into their KiwiSaver, leaving less in their back pocket to fund today’s cost of living. ACT is the only party proposing to stop taking money out of their KiwiSaver through taxes. “New Zealand should be a country where people are encouraged to work, save, invest and build assets of their own. ACT’s changes mean more of your investment returns stay invested, and more of your money is left to compound over your working life. “Long-term investments benefit from the magic of compound interest. Every year, a KiwiSaver account earns interest on the balance. That balance includes interest earned last year. Next year’s interest is calculated on a new balance, including interest earned this year. “Interest on interest, year after year, grows your KiwiSaver balance exponentially. There are two ways to get a higher balance. One is to invest longer, the other is to get a higher interest rate. “Put it this way. Over a 42-year career, a 10 per cent return could double your savings nearly six times, compared with only four times at seven per cent, leaving you with roughly three times as much at retirement. A 30 per cent tax on a 10 per cent return effectively cuts that return to seven per cent, showing how dramatically tax can reduce the power of compounding. “Every time you get taxed on your earnings you don’t just lose that money, but all the future savings that would be compounded from it. “This policy would help a 20-year-old builder earning $60,000 save an extra $209,486 by the time they turn 65. A 50-year-old office manager earning $80,000 will have an extra $20,878 by the time they turn 65. “We would also end the KiwiSaver Government Contribution for members who receive employer contributions, replacing it with the new tax treatment inside their accounts. “A country builds wealth when more people own assets, have savings, invest in productive enterprise and have the confidence to think decades ahead. “ACT is campaigning to unlock New Zealand’s potential by shifting power from the government departments and politicians in Wellington back to you, your family, and your business.”

ACT wants to end compulsory enforcement of all spiritual and religious beliefs. Low IQ Blowhards... "that's racist"
A karakia takes about a minute and most are not religious. Funny how the racist Yellow party are not so concerned with Christian prayers at Anzac Day services or the Chaplain Corp of the Army. This is just Anti-Māori racism. #NZpol #VoteThemOut2026 stuff.co.nz/politics/3610419…
