Child poverty, climate change-global heating, and an unfair and inadequate tax sytem for New Zealand are mjor problems for our country. Closing the gap of our income inequality would make a serious difference

Well done Green Party for your new Tax policy If adopted it would help reduce income inequality

For a better society we must have a new tax system that is wide ranging--if you get money it should be taxed---and is much more steeply progressive than of now ie much more tax from the wealthy and much less from the poor----Peter Malcolm

We in New Zealand desparately need a more caring society with no poverty and more social justice. The answer is for the wealthy to pay more tax. Peter Malcolm

Let us desparatly hope that Labour can come out with a decent tax policy which includes a cpaital gains tax, a tax on wealth, and a higher level of progressivity to reduce income and wealth inequality which is doing serious damage to our country

Do you know that the very wealthy in New Zealand have most if not all of their wealth and income from land and or financial assets most of which are not taxed

we need to think seriously about increasing our total tax take before our public health and public education systen collapse

[Closing the Gap - Fight against Inequality @Income_Equality]

Do you think Labour has the courge and the guts to really push for a CTG, Wealth taxes. and inheritance taxes to reduce inequality and provide a Government with sufficient funds for decent public health and education systems?

[Closing the Gap - Fight against Inequality @Income_Equality]

We need a better tax system to: be fair, reduce inequality, raise much more money for better public health, and better public education. The wealthy could easily afford it.

huge pay increases for those at the top, nothing for those at the botom. It has got to stop

this Government can find $8 billion for the military but cannot find any money for the 140,000 kids who live in poverty. What does this say about our Governments priorities?

New research counters claims that the wealthy would take their money offshore if capital gains were taxed in NZ. It shows that a well-off NZer would pay roughly twice as much tax in other countries. Via @radionz https://t.co/elRODV2SKf
