Child Poverty

Children’s Commissioner Proves His Worthlessness

“The Children’s Commissioner and his department have siphoned away millions of taxpayer dollars and come no closer to understanding the nature of poverty. Instead, their ideas maintain and increase poverty levels via government interference.” This is from Peter Osborne, the Libertarianz spokesman for social welfare today. “We must surely realise by now that government can never stop poverty and in fact is the greatest single cause of it today.”

“Regardless of how it is dressed up we should understand that government regulation is a systematic method of removing opportunity and replacing it with restriction. It is a price we pay for the illusion of safety and security. When we couple this with the sheer drain of financial resources that our government extracts from each of us, we can begin to see the suffocation of life that most of us feel but cannot articulate.

Mr Osborne says, “Our lives are being engineered for us from the day we enter a government factory school until the day we die. It is hardly any wonder we continue to vote the way we do. And still we want our government to tackle the child poverty issue. But remember: by doing so, we are giving government what it wants; an opportunity to reach further into our pockets and into our lives.”

Osborne concludes, “Contrary to the Children’s Commissioner’s world view, there is a silver bullet for child poverty but it would prove fatal to his job and his ministry. Libertarianz would reduce government to 3 core areas (police, defence, justice) and remove all other excuses to interfere in the lives of New Zealanders. We understand that the world of finance is not a system but is instead a free-wheeling vehicle of trade and free interaction. To attempt to control its flow and value is to quietly and slowly poison your own citizenry. The fact that this is not widely understood is testament to our factory schools.”
