This is a fantastic idea

[Oh_hunnihunni]

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

More adjectives... an argument is immediately lost as soon as the aggressive insults appear. 

Most great wealth is in some way intergenerational rather than earned, and usually accumulated without fair taxation. So how is that fair when most people manage to work hard, support themselves and their families without evading or avoiding their social responsibility or inheriting a nice chunk from Mum'n Dad? I can't help thinking of that meme about the ape hoarding bananas while its fellows go hungry v the man with his super yacht. One we'd say had mental health issues while the other would go on the cover of Time magazine... It's a sickness, this drive to build excessive wealth, as much as any other human drive that gets out of control, and just as socially poisonous.

As for blaming governments, we elect them. So who is really responsible? Trump, for example or those who put him there?
