Believe it or not, I did elect to endure the pain of reading your previous ramblings/"workings". And that was despite you so clearly being well stuck in the weeds, thrashing around around like a baby throwing a tantrum in the bath.
Now that was a comedy!
Even though you continue to misunderstand (intentionally?.. or is it that ignoramus DNA rearing it's ugly head yet again?) I will give you ONE more chance to redeem at least SOME of your credibility
...And please don't eat that BIG chunk of Humble Pie, that you cruelly tease us with, on my account. Instead dedicate it to the many, many hard & smart working kiwi's, across multiple income & wealth tiers, to whom we should all be eternally grateful, for assisting holding this country together economically.
Yes, you have correctly pointed to the ACT party's policy of ustilising a LMITO to reduce the burden of a tax % increase to earner's income up to the current $14K income threshold.
However, that is not the full extent of their tax policy suite. There are other measures as well, and perhaps your 'Leftie confirmation biases' precluded you from seeing, learning & understanding those policies?
So, with respect, search around under things like "Carbon Tax Refund", Personal Carbon Tax Refund" (through the ETS - up to nearly $250), etc, etc.
Enjoy!
