Editorial: Time may be right to ask what tax cuts will cost us – It is little wonder that Prime Minister John Key has refused to guarantee that the tax cuts promised for next year and 2011 will go ahead. The tax-cut programme that National took to the country in November amounted to $4.4 billion… [NZ Herald Politics]
The leftist echo chamber like to think the NZ Herald are National party mouth pieces whereas most of us on the right think they are pinko swine with a few good apples in the mix.
The editorial today, again, calls for National to break election promises. It is an outrage and it is entirely based on the false premise that tax-cuts cost the government. They do not and they are part of the stimulus package putting money into peoples hands so they can spend it how they like not how the government likes.
For too long we have had politicians treat promises like disposable napkins to be thrown away when no longer needed. National must change that perception and resist silly calls for them to break their promises.
