This is a fantastic idea

[king1]

As opposed to making the workers pay more tax than the rich pricks?

Yup, I think that is a great idea. But you knew I would, didn't you? Now, about the cgt...

CGT

thats a great idea as well, get those greedy property investors and those wealthy tax dodgers making money in the share market, pity that will include anyone with a kiwisaver
how long before some grifting politicians decide to chuck the family home into the mix and grandma's jewellery and that classic car that grandad owned thats now worth 80k and lets bring in a inheritance tax because how dare someone work hard all their lives and leave something to their children 
the government already gets enough tax its how they spend it or in labours case piss it away

Only a fool would want more taxes....or someone who’s spent their lives with their hands out

focusing on saving money is like flogging a dead horse, or getting blood out of stone.  The system doesn't have enough money to pay for the services society needs, eg healthcare, education, basic stuff like that...

It's a zero sum game so govt either needs to cut services or increase revenue...
