Reasons To DisagreeWhen we have a good economy and a tax surplus, then we should use that money to reduce our foreign debt. Debts are typically increased in years that are bad, and thus in good years, we should pay back those loans. We will all be collectively wealthier when we are not paying interest on foreign loans. 31 July 2005
Do you want a pittance now, or a wealthier, healthier, better educated NZ in the future? 4 November 2008
Our country needs a good health system. Some managers of in the DHB do a good job. Health is more than frontline services. We need money spent in the Mental Health field because some of the NGO's help keep people well. 8 January 2012
Riccardo/Barrow equivalence, need I say more? 27 August 2012
Gst should be 10% same as Aussie.no tax on total yearly income of $21000 .. tax should be 60 cents in the dollar over 80.000 per anum, Trusts should be only able to be formed to have money in liquid form in them for people who are of charity eg orphans. not for people to avoid responsibility as citizens 17 September 2013
We would not be able to afford having tax cuts, but having a bit less of it would be nice. But let's look at Sweden as an example, and the economy is doing very well with the targets achieved. 17 August 2014

Reasons To AgreeKeep what you earn and let the people who earn the money decide how their money should be spent 25 March 2006
I agree... let me spend my money how i see fit. As it is i pay $60 to see a doctor and thats while i pay 33% tax 9 April 2007
Cut expenses, cut taxes, surplus goes to reducing the debts of irresponsible fiscal policies. The rest WILL take care of itself. 7 June 2008
It's not an either/or question; it's a question of balance and timing. Currently NZers need some tax relief. 21 June 2008
Tax in and of itself is immoral as it forces us to give money to causes that don't interest us. Even if we can't abolish tax in and of itself, we should reduce tax as much as possible and put more money into the hands of the people that actually work and add to the living economy. 6 June 2011

Reasons for Remain Neutral
no fair: this is two questions. health and education are black holes, until we get the beaucracy down the money will disappear, and anyway, its time to reward New Zealanders for the pain they have gone through to provide growth. Although zero debt would be really nice.
It's not about how much tax we are paying, it is about who is actually being made to pay their full entitlement and who is being allowed to opt out, thus be subsidised by those who are not being allowed to opt out. The exploitive elements within the elite put out misleading propaganda to chuck the average commoner off their trail, they make much of the fact that the top 5% of earners pay a quarter of the taxes, the fact is according to renowned global economist Joseph Stiglitz, that the top 5% of earners in this country and most so called developed nations are pocketing approx 80% of annual generated profits, while only paying approx 17% of the taxes, while the pay as you earn, paye, low earning majorities are the only ones paying their full entitlements, thus subsidising the exploitive elements at both ends of the spectrum who are using complexity as a means to committ social and economic treason.
Hey - we have such a HUGE budget surplus we can do both!!
Separate questions
BAD QUESTION - typical Hobson's choice!
GST should be raised to 25% in exchange for tax cuts for Companies who invest it mainly back into New Zealand and to New Zealand Residents.
