Key could prove a point, but he wont

Fran O Sullivan thinks PM John could prove a point and implement some bold changes to the tax system, but he wont: Cabinet (JK AND SJ) have already shot down any real credible ideas that have surfaced: And Treasury and IRD are at odds over what can be done:

So what will happen: Not much, we may get a land tax that may go some way to address the issues with Rental Property Barons, but probably not as much as we would all like.

She then went on blabbing about Mojo, and public opinion and coasting high on polls: Sounds like she is talking about some sleazy back room party, well I guess she is:

The thing is taxes are far too high, and the wrong people pay most of the taxes, and the money doesnt really go to develop the right things either:

It will be more than taxes that will get things going, we need a range of policies, private competition to ACC, and also some sort of social Insurance to protect us when we lose our jobs, rather than WINZ: I would much rather pay a private company to hold my funds for the time when I may lose it, rather than hang my head low and walk into my local branch of WINZ:

We need to curb Government spending, 250 Million per week is just ludicrous: what do we get for it?

And we need to start the conversation, its all very idealist to own state owned companies, but what when they start losing money and lots of it: Does the Government need to own these just because it looks good to the left?

I like a more user pays scenario, higher taxes on fuel, electricity, water, roading and the major stuff that most people use all the time: Lower taxes on food and essential items, higher taxes on luxury items:

Let people keep more of their own money and encourage them to save, invest and spend it on the right stuff: Its ok to spend and be a consumer just dont go over board.

More money to spend means more jobs, more jobs means lees people dependent on state welfare.

The public needs to play a greater role in the conversation also, the Government cant sit their and tell us how we are going to react, and they cant keep putting a stop to new methods that may work just because they think we may favour them less: I will favour them less if they dont actually do anything, or they do something that is stupid:

Do something and do something soon Mr Key, and dont do something really dumb such as tax me more, and give me some sort of benefit to compensate such as Working for Families: You may as well not have done anything to start off with, why take from my pay check only to give back to but as a benefit, I worked hard for my money thank you very much, dont make me feel stupid by giving me a benefit:

And anyway that wont work because it will cost to administer the stupid scheme, and it isnt fair anyway, the wrong people will get the most back such as families who have too many kids they cant afford, and will hurt people like me the most, ones who work, save and dont have kids:

I am yet to hear from any credible person who says this scheme works besides, a Finance Minister who has been molded by the state, and state welfare babies:

The best way is to bloody get a job, work and spend your own money how you see fit.
