    David Seymour, do you have plans to level the tax rate for All New Zealand Businesses ?
    Currently a maori business pays 17%
    All others pay 28% !!
    We cannot compete for Government Contracts because of this.
    Why is Ngai Tahu allowed to purchase existing businesses and run them as CHARITIES which allows them to make TAX FREE PAYMENTS to their SHAREHOLDERS !!
    Maori care paid more in BENEFITS than they pay in TAX !!
    EVERY NON-MAORI in NEW ZEALAND is SUBSIDISING part-maori.

With that in mind the NZer as a combination of both cultures has become the new indigineity , a unique fusion of global tribes , it is more than Māori , as Seymour has said before, we must address the issues of our collective humanity , that’s what it means to be kiwi NOT separatism

    NZ is awash with debt. Indebted to private overseas Central Banks. Interest payments on this debt is the main reason for our crippled economy. I agree with Henry, we are screwed.
    The only reason the Russian economy is robust is because they have their own governmental controlled central bank. This is the main reason why the West is determined to topple Putin. They went after Hussein. They went after Gaddafi. Why?? They tried to fuck the Central Banks by abandoning petro dollars in favour of their alternative currencies. NZ is being manipulated by overseas globalist bankers. The solution??? Create our own unique currency. Germany did it the Reichsmark. The USA even did it. JFK introduced a new currency to circumvent the Fed Reserve control over the economy. A few months later he was assassinated. And his new currency was withdrawn. Fact. We need to understand the root cause of our economic woes.

      Borrowing and accumulated debt are not a problem *so long as* both are being put to productive uses. If the borrowing is going to line the pockets of unproductive cronies and basket weaving jobs then the borrowing becomes a major problem because it cannot be paid down from raising productivity, only by raising taxes and thus both the borrowing and higher taxes become drags on the economy. That is how Labour and the Greens setup New Zealand for failure.

But then the very other basic and obvious fact that n.z isnt just 900 years in production but many thousands of years already been trodden on and admittedly by the first maoris that they have nothing to do with this wall. So why dont you really do an outsiders thing and start to investigate this or at least make word of it. Why all the governments national or labour continue to keep this fake narrative alive is beyond me when the maoris have no legs to stand on.
