Two thoughts:
1. It's refreshing to see a call for lower- and middle-class tax cuts that are genuinely for lower- and middle-class wage earners. (The definition of 'middle-class' here in the US seems to skew ever and ever higher.)
2. Why not cut the GST? Perhaps since NZ is so reliant on tourism dollars, a dual system could be instituted--a GST on most products and a second 'rooms and meals' tax (which we have here in New Hampshire) to extract tax dollars from tourists?
