David Seymour, ACT Epsom Candidate
Internet Party Insults Students
"I sometimes wonder if the Internet Party is giving students an intelligence test," says ACT Epsom Candidate David Seymour
"Do the Internet Party really think our generation cannot see that it is us who will pay for their election bribes in taxes? Perhaps they think we do not know that students become taxpaying graduates?
"The Treasury predicts a massive government
debt blow out (202% of GDP) by 2060, on current trends of
demographics and expenditure.
"That year happens to be
when current students might hope to retire (See the
Long-term Fiscal Outlook).
"It’s insulting enough that
students are being bribed with their own money. Worse is
that overall government expenditure will go up further under
the Internet Party and their left wing allies.
"If there
are no student fees we would expect more ‘lifers’ at
University, and responsible students will pay for them
too.
"ACT is the only party taking the future tax burdens
of current students seriously. We are the only party
offering to reduce government expenditure.
"Young New
Zealanders should be the most concerned of all about
election bribe spending.
"ACT is the only party offerring low taxes, less nanny state and labour market policies that will give graduates a chance to get into the workforce to prove themselves in a job." said David Seymour
