Cobras, Rats and Air Pollution: How the Government ‘Helps’

One of the most damaging conceits of socialists and big government enthusiasts is that the government, any government, has the ability to run a complex economy like a well-oiled machine. In reality, market forces are the consequences of millions, if not billions, of individuals making independent decisions. When bureaucrats start

Tax Is Love

We all hope fervently for a Judith Collins-led National government after the election, but the polls still indicate otherwise. It ain’t over until it is over, but Labour, led by Jacinda Ardern, still have a strong lead, and Jacinda’s personal ratings are still through the roof. If the

Taxing Our Way To Prosperity

Taxing Our Way To Prosperity

National has received some very loud criticism for suggesting that they will reduce taxes if they are elected into government next month.

“Desperate and Reckless”

“Desperate and Reckless”

Jacinda Ardern labelled National’s tax policy as ‘desperate and reckless’, claiming that this is the wrong time to be allowing people to keep more of their own money by making them pay less tax. There is an argument either way, and while I don’t agree with it, the

Money for Nothing and Your Dictatorships for Free

It’s one thing to joke that socialists know nothing about economics and think money comes from nothing, quite another for them to straight-up admit it. Jacinda Ardern is a socialist. That’s not a smear, it’s self-evident in everything from her declaration that “capitalism has failed” to well,
