70% want a tax cut in the budget

Newshub reports:

It asked: Do you think the Government should give New Zealanders a tax cut in the upcoming May Budget?

A clear majority – 68.7 percent – say yes, hand back over the cash, while only 23.7 percent said no. Even a majority of Labour voters – 54.2 percent – want a tax cut, with 35.7 percent saying no. 

That’s a huge majority, basically 3:1 in favour of tax cuts in the Budget. Even a majority of Labour voters want a tax cut.

But are they going to get a shock. Not only will Labour not give tax cuts in this Budget, they are delivering a tax hike on every employee and employer in New Zealand. The average family is going to have their take home pay cut by $100 a month, to fund Labour’s unemployment insurance so people made redundant will get up to $400 a day for seven months.
