Nearly 378,000 New Zealand households get a bit more money each week through Working for Families tax credits. But a system designed to help young families actually punishes them as extra income earned from hard work is taxed at rates as high as 90c in the dollar. For some families, the dole is a better option.Enough said really.
Received something that was damaged? This guy did it.

Got news for you Einstein - we do. And $450 a week of it is propping you up?
Exactly CB
How much more do they want.
I suggest that the first $50,000 of income be taxed at zero%. The GST rate dropped to 5% and we're ALL better off!
How's this to be paid for? Simple: Tell the government to fuck-off and let us run our own lives. The abolition of pointless government departments and the reduction in the numbers of victimless crimes will achieve this. The lowest paid in the work-place will be attracted to work as what they own will be theirs and theirs alone.

Precisely
I also love how they are pulling down a sickness benefit yet running a business that requires very manual labour.
Geniuses like this are not "hard working" NZers, they are stupid NZers and more pity the fools who actually let them vote.
Cactus, they're Goff's "ordinary New Zealanders".
Hey I'm an ordinary NZ'er and this year I am going to claim some WFF.
Having paid around 1.4mm in PAYE in the last 6 years I regard the $2100 I am entitled to in FY2010 as my birthright.

You are right a very small Government is the answer.
Who gives the smallest fuck about the low-paid.
PAYE should be capped - pay 30% of first 30k say then zero - that's a real taxfree threshold. . Noone should ever pay millions of paye ever.
Gooner - very very ordinary. Sadly they are the "many" and not the "few" paying for them.
P.S: couldn't a teenager make more than $150 a week off a lawnmowing run?
Just asking....
Take a close look at the photo. They are bloody Ginga's. Explains it all really.
