I wonder if one of you folk interested in Politics can help me here

In 1984 we had a $29 billion dollar debt 80,000 unemployed but all of our assets including the ownership of overseas properties, our forests, telecommunications, BNZ, etc etc etc- we did not have GST yet all these interests in properties were able to be accumulated through Ministries that were accountable to the people in such a manner that the $50,000,000 or so in bonuses paid out by SOE’s last year? just would not have occurred not to mention undisclosed consultants fees/backhanders …..

Now the debt against NZ equities is measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars we have GST which (we have to pay to use our investments as if those investments were funded by another and provided as a service), Australian banks have us by our short and curliness (interest rates) and still the milking goes on and on and on- yet no significant new additions to the Nations Equities or infrastructure

Are the Significant parties of modern times "incapable of building"(other than debts) public equities, stability or security out of public investment?

Was the recent increase in GST not enough to quiet those privateers’ rumbling greedy gutlessness?- that they need to sell our investments in electricity back to us- or those of us left that can afford?

Just where is all the money going? And why is it that prior to the privatising more Honourable men and women could manage without continually looking for something else to milk- and someone else to blame?

Is “DON'T SPOT WHO'S GOT THE BIGGEST TRUST ACCOUNT” the name of the new game?

Should we continue to let these folk blame a messy neighborhood for our messy house after taking and taking and taking under clearly false or misleading representations including the inability to budget in such a manner as to reduce (not increase) debt?

And the last question is of course… who (in their right minds) would bother to vote in an election that only results in naming the next group to milk the public purse for the next three years?- all in the name of democracy?

I reckon its mighty convenient that those that have initiated the disenfranchising process also have control of accountability or the legal processes that should have been able to protect legal interests.. mighty convenient..... where was the impartial informative media? -sold or just seduced?
