Did you know that companies like Coca-Cola sell enough single-use plastic bottles in NZ every year to fill Eden Park?

The @nzlabour party is making a big mistake by not running an election campaign on fair taxation after an IRD report found that the wealthiest New Zealanders only pay a single digit percentage in taxes while the working class pays the full rate.
My family has also benefitted to the tune of tens of millions from the New Zealand capital gains tax regime which is a free for all for the wealthy and unfair to the vast majority of Kiwis.
NZ Labour is the party for the people, the workers, those who keep our country going every day. The National Party is the party for the rich, the bankers and corporations. If my family wants to hire lobbyists to get even more tax benefits we would send them to National Party politicians like many rich Kiwi families do, not Labour.
Our PM @chrishipkins is going to lose the election this year after the Covid-19 overreactions that ended @jacindaardern’s political career. Drastic measures that the National Party supported by the way.
Unless Chris Hipkins can do something to get Kiwis excited about voting for Labour again, it’s over. The vast majority of Kiwis are tired of the selfish upper class that isn’t contributing its fair share to our society. The legal tax evasion schemes for the wealthy are costing New Zealand insane amounts of tax revenue. That money could be used to make our country better for all.
New Zealand is an amazing country that provides a safe haven from the turmoil that is growing around the world. I wouldn’t be worried about the wealthy leaving because of a reasonable tax code. Where the hell are they going to go? The world is turning into a total mess. It’s a privilege to live in New Zealand. Make the wealthy, including my family, pay for it.
And to my fellow overachievers, let’s make our country the best it can be by contributing our fair share. We don’t need three mansions and 8 super cars. We need a country where everyone is happy. I think that’s going to make all of our lives much better. #nzpol
