philu Bloody brilliant all of them Trouble is being around this site as gd before this I have to be worried in the Machievallian way that is us of the RIGHT.

When the dastardly LEFT start to appear to mock their heavenly beloved leader ones nose twitches and wonders what heinous plot may be a hatching against our beloved leader.

Does philu know something. Should we of the RIGHT capture philu and stretch him on the rack to extract a confession?

This and many other questions need answering.

Roger has been brilliant, outstanding, results proven, with respect specifically to what he did in the context of the times.

Name me another NZ politician that has achieved as much, given cards available at the time, and played.

@reid 9:47 pm

You obviously underestimate my age and length of political involvement. I played a wee part in Muldoon’s demise, and I still believe I was right in doing so. He was an authoritarian and racist arsehole who had a very limited understanding of economics.

What I didn’t anticipate was that the Government that replaced him, with Douglas as its Finance Minister, would have even less understanding of economics, and would systematically implement policies that made the rich richer and the poor poorer, and would leave office in 1990 with New Zealand as an even worse basket case than under Muldoon – remember the BNZ bailout, that then became Shipley’s excuse to implement the 1991 benefit cuts.

Sorry, DPF, I know this was meant to be a “caption contest” thread confined to suggested captions, but I just posted a caption, and given the debate was started by reid, I feel it is fair I should respond.

But not encouraging any further threadjacking.

toad if you’re still here we can take it to GD if you like. Personally I think the off-thread issue has evaporated by passage of time now so I’ll respond to your response here.

Firstly, why do you blame Hayeckian economics for a disparity between rich and poor and secondly why does that matter in any way?

I just got in my mail a Green pamphlet on this very thing – the gap. Why are you guys so obsessed with it? Sure, many people are richer than many other people. Many many people are richer than me – I don’t care. I am wealthier than many people – I don’t care.

Personally to me the key thing is that the poorest of the poor, have the opportunity to become rich, by their own efforts. The fact that many of them don’t requires causal analysis. Perhaps some of them don’t know that by continuing to smoke, drink, take drugs and fuck without condoms and have child after child, they probably won’t ever get ahead and they’ll die very poor indeed and their children and grand-children likewise. Perhaps others don’t know that you can’t get ahead by stealing from others or by committing violence because that just upsets the karmic relationship which in the long run is always balanced up.

However it can be done, toad. I guarantee that if you took all my wealth and put me at the bottom of the heap, within a few years I would have established myself securely and a few more years after that would have started to dig myself out. Same with you and same with everyone else. All it takes is (a) will and (b) education. So that’s why I can’t understand why you guys are blaming the gap for every evil on earth. It makes no sense whatsoever.

overweening self-confidence..?..delusional..?..or just good old fashioned hubris..?

btw..did you ever see that reality show that did that..?..put the rich..’on the street’…?..with nothing..?

i think you might need to watch it..as both a conciousness-raising tool…

..and a reality-check…

Duh phil, that reality show which put rich people on the street was (a) a TV entertainment package and not a doco and (b) was not a long term experiment.

People like you don’t get life. You don’t get it. That’s why you’re poor. It doesn’t have to be that way, but nothing will ever change for you, until you change your own attitudes, but you won’t. The hubris is yours and yours alone.
