Libz Alternative Budget ”Tax Cuts with Grunt!
*SOLO-NZ Press Release: Libz Alternative Budget ”Tax Cuts with Grunt!
**May 21, 2008
*The Libertarianz Party is to
be congratulated on its alternative budget, just released by
leader Bernard Darnton
(http://www.libz.tv/), The budget, helpfully announced
one day ahead of Michael Cullen's so that he might pick up
some useful hints at the last minute, proposes the immediate
abolition of the Government Slavery Tax, as well as the
abolition of income tax on the first $50,000 earned. "It's
especially gratifying to see the end of the loathsome GST,
otherwise known as the ACT Party Tax," says Perigo. "By
coercive government fiat, GST adds twelve-and-a-half per
cent to the price of everything. GST was the means by which
Roger Douglas continued to expand the Nanny State (after its
introduction, tax revenues rose by 6 points as a percentage
of GDP) and grind down the smelly proletariat while lowering
taxes for his crony-phony capitalist mates (libertarians, of
course, favour *genuine* capitalism, the kind that is *not*
in bed with politicians). "The measures advocated here by
Mr. Darnton put *meaningful* tax cuts on the table for the
first time. They would return hundreds of dollars a week to
the pockets of their rightful owners, their earners. "With
the demented Global Warming chooks coming home to roost in
the form of skyrocketing food and energy prices, the Libz
prescription couldn't be more timely. "Just what the
doctor ordered. Even Dr. Cullen should order it," Perigo
concludes. ENDS
