I don't have a hard job talking up Labour, the stats are there, but you are mainly writing unsubstantiated comments that I'd like to see backed up with data. For example: "Labour drove NZ into massive debt", that is a beauty, even for you Cuzzie.
Shouldn't that be "Labour refused to give in to the Nats and used the strong economy they helped build up, to pay off a lot of historical govt debt". By the time they'd been pushed from office in 2008, all the old debt had been paid off, and newer terms for smaller new loans were in place. A bonus for National, who simply borrowed up to internationally subscribed limits when their income dropped, before they started to do anything useful.
Stick to the facts Cuzzie.
OK I'll stick to the facts:
You said, 'I'd like to hope that my children will find a decent job in NZ.' Well you don't need to like to hope with National as unemployment rates drop - http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/n...ectid=11152321
Lowish pay is up to them and your good self to guide them and instil good work ethics into them to give them the best chance, don't blame that on any Govt. that's just passing the buck on. Your job, do it and don't complain when your kids fail.
Plenty of homeless people during the Laboured years, so what is your excuse for that? This has always been the case but nothing like the rest of the world's homeless people. They are proper poor, not getting handouts from their Govt., free food from the Sally's and begging to fuel their desires. Pointless statement EZ.
Medium to small business thrive under National, what are you talking about. It is Labour that encourage people to sit on their backsides and get hand out every week. I notice both EZ & belboy knocking the wealthy NZers and big business over & over. We need to look after the them too and keep their companies in financial order, why target them if they are doing well? That is very much a lefty thing. Listen & listen closely, if we make the wealthy and their companies poor then NZ really is in the s***. National and ACT understand this, Labour & the Greenies can't work it out. Big difference right there.
You said,"Labour drove NZ into massive debt", that is a beauty, even for you Cuzzie". Just look at the state of affairs Labour left us in and their massive spending. http://www.rbnz.govt.nz/statistics/k...rrent_account/ I know you don't like that stat fact very much EZ and you have tried very hard to knock it down, but here is the fact - you failed as it is still up there on the Reserve Bank of NZ's website. Just look at that spending by the out of control Cullen and Co & you put up on a pedestal?
Hand outs for the lazy, yeah cut their benefits and make them work. I've got two very lazy relatives that have been forced to work for the first time in twenty years and you want to hear them complain, music to my ears. National's putting the pain onto the lazy alright and it is working. There is a problem here for National and it's a big one - none of these lazy useless layabouts vote for National and they will be voting for Labour or Green, hmmm, that's if they can get off their a**.
Easy to see National totally out perform Labour in one blow, one stat and one fact right there with the current account stat.
Easy for me to stick to the facts EZ, not so easy for you. :)
