Nats to "crack down on people on benefits"

[Lilith7]

I am a long term tax payer, pakeha and as such a recipient of the benefits of colonisation.  I am willing to carry financially the citizens of our country who are struggling with the intergenerational damage caused by my English antecedents' land grabs and suppression of indigenous culture, and also the citizens who have mental and physical health challenges which make their working lives precarious.   

Would you prefer that children starve?

intergenerational damage, what a joke, no maori alive today would exist if not for colonisation, as for land grabs they did a fair bit of that pre whitey

That is utter nonsense. Perhaps its easier for you to ignore, for whatever reasons, that Maori survived well here before they were invaded & colonised.
