The Greens have become full socialists

Media Release

ACT Leader Dr Jamie Whyte

The Greens have become full socialists


"The Greens Party launch sounded like the launch of a socialist party. The environment is now very much a second thought" said Dr Jamie Whyte.

"Mr Steven Joyce's response from National would have had more credibility except National's record on tax is not good. New Zealand now has one of the highest Company Tax rates among small open economies. Indeed, our corporate tax rate is higher that average in the EU. High company tax is discouraging investment and holding down growth, wages. If National had a plan to reduce job destroying taxes, they could have responded to the Greens socialist manifesto with a call to free enterprise and prosperity"
