When you dig even deeper you start realise how powerful the IRD have become and how they will protect themselves and the government at all costs. I believe it has got to the stage where no one is willing to stand up and question ‘The System’ let alone fight because it is a big monster to try and face down.

Some facts to ponder: The tax system was supposed to be changed to $75,000 for the top bracket but somehow this just got forgotten and has remained at $60,000. WHY is it that I have a tax bill due next year that I am getting CHARGED interest on? I tried to complain and lodge the argument that surely the interest should not be charged unless the money is overdue? The response – You are currently using the money and not us.

HOW DOES THAT WORK??? So here’s the outcome – pay your bill early and you won’t get pinged – pay your bill on time and be charged interest on top??? Is it JUST me or have we completely lost the plot on this?

In America there are revolutions starting to happen because The People are starting to realise they have been shafted by a bill that is in fact illegal…at WHAT stage are KIWI’S going to stand up for their rights and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?

If anyone would like copies of the documents I have uncovered disproving the current system is legal let me know as i am trying to educate people out there to stop just taking everything on face value and start asking more questions….

Well, there you have it. The IRD are absolute and answerable to no one.
They can destroy marriages, families, lives, even push individuals to take their own lives.

Politicians back down to them (which shows they don’t have confidence in an honest audit, let alone the barrage some have to take.)

As someone has pointed out, the comment was aimed at both sides of the fence. I understand even that the producer commented before the movie, in his welcome speech, that it was remarkable (unprecedented) that no politician (other than Rodney) turned up to a NZ movie premier. They are usually falling over themselves to turn up and include themselves in the success of it all.

I believe that none of the big parties want to mess with the IRD. The IRD provides the river of cash for the pet projects/redistribution/election advertising/latest lollynomics exercise.

National has nothing to be proud of in this movie. A few ex-national politicians come off looking like pricks. Neither, however, does Labour, after their cowardly priviledged smears on Dave in parliament.

In the main the thug IRD culture was a direct result of a thuggish penalties regime which was brought in by National. National were the enablers.

After 8 years on a political siding National is to blame?!? Hilarious!

“Freedom [liberty]: One of the most abused and mis-used words in the language; in its authentic sense, libertarianism’s raison d’etre. In its positive aspect, the right to exercise one’s rights – the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of property and happiness. In its negative aspect, “The absence of coercion or constraint in all choice or action that does not inflict force or fraud on another.” Or as The Free Radical’s Editorial Policy puts it, “the absence of compulsion from human affairs.”

So simple and succinct one would think even Redbaiter could understand it.

I know they can’t even pay their fucken electoral registration fee on time. What’s the point of having policy if its that far away from being implemented? Just another bunch of self indulgent navel gazing political elitist snobs, all hat and no cattle. All talk and no do. No plan. No strategy. With a leadership that takes no responsibility for success of failure. Lamely promoted as an “ideas” party. Because it can’t hack real world politics, where like it or not, success or failure is measured in electoral support.

I wish. All Libertarians seem to do is squabble amongst themselves over the precise definition of liberty and what doctrine should apply and how big a part acceptance of homosexuality should play in Libertarianism etc etc etc ad infinitum. Yawn…. (Thanks for the smile unaha- so true)

Meantime- Go Ron Paul- I have to cheer him on. Even tho his international defence policies (especially on Iraq) are so lame and he’s inexplicably sucking up to the 9/11 truthers, he might be the only way to break the cycle of self perpetuating big government, and he deserves support for his courage and determination and his persistence and (so far) his wonderful achievements as an outsider in the race for the US Presidency.

Libertarianism in one lesson – still very funny.

“Where’s the party advocating for radical changes to the tax system and the abolition of the IRD and its offensive powers? … There’s no such party”
I don’t expect Redbaiter to be able to read, but I would have expected him to know that’s exactly what Libertarianz has had as policy for the last twelve years.

“Its necessary to pass an extremely extensive examination on doctrine before one can be admitted as a Libertarian.”
All that’s required is an honest commitment to liberty. Is that bar too high for you?

Its necessary to pass an extremely extensive examination on doctrine before one can be admitted as a Libertarian

I’m sure Rodney knows how to spell his own name.

There is a huge full page ad been put in the Press down in Christchurch yesterday by some chap with a dispute with the Govt. about some land deal in Canterbury and it was a serious eye catcher that would have made some Govt members squirm. Dave should see it and do an ad demanding a public apology from Mickey Cullen I bet that would make him squeal.

Its necessary to pass an extremely extensive examination on doctrine before one can be admitted as a Libertarian. Combining with them would be a bit like combining with the Exclusive Brethren.

Snot nosed mentally crippled unemployable IRD staff were suddenly given huge unaccountable powers certainly beyond their meager abilities to fuck with the lives of law abiding citizens.

Thank you National.

As I’ve said, the party who says g.s.t is obsolete wins.
unfortunately the majors won’t say that and if a new crowd advocates the issue they won’t be listened to.

Act and Liberterianz should combine on this very relevant issue

You saw the irony in that too Brownie! My kids are 20 and 16, so no benefit from 20Free, and as the youngest lives with her Mum and the oldest is at varsity, no relief from WFF either. Not to worry – I go to sleep every night secure in the knowledge that Dr Scrooge has vast sums of dosh tucked away top make my future secure – after all, they keep telling us “You’re better off with Labour” – yeah, right!

Well, didn’t the reviewer say it was politically neutral? An error if you ask me. The idea of big powerful unresponsive individually crushing monolithic government as so well embodied by the IRD is a leftist concept, not anything the right today should advocate.
