haha good to know some insight. I'm getting the feel that they are quite detached from reality then?
Detached from reality, and also mostly broke students, from what I can tell.
There's also a disturbing lack of empathy for the people that will be negatively affected by their policies, in particular a vilification of the elderly for wanting to live in their house post retirement. Maorimegacricket on r/newzealand is a notable example of this.
A lot of their supporters are, quite simply, not very pleasant people.
Oof haha. Someone should make a Common Sense party.
Honestly, their biggest issue is there's not much wrong with our current tax system anyway. All we need to do is adjust the brackets for inflation, and perhaps tweak the rates a bit. We don't need a radical overhaul.
Well I have to disagree with you on this. I think there's plenty wrong with a tax system that distorts investment markets and heavily advantages people with wealth over those without by encouraging them to stash it in property, where there are a bunch of tax loopholes.
Whatever the fix for it, I don't see how it can be fixed by tinkering with rates of income tax.
