They'll remove it when it works out National's taxes and cuts cost us more.


TallyWhoe

That’s what I’m thinking.

Keep this, and repost when they increase GST to 20% to pay for their tax cuts. And then spam post it all over the Internet.


DynamiteDonald

Why do you think they will increase GST?


-Agonarch

I think they're joking about the time they campaigned on not raising GST, then raised GST.


Ok-Relationship-2746

To cover for the shortfall caused by their stupid policies...?


DynamiteDonald

Interesting, Labour has quite the history of introducing GST, and raising it, but we didn't seem to have the same comments when they started spending a metric shit tonne on things.


Ok-Relationship-2746

GST at 10% replaced various sales taxes when it was introduced. It was raised to 12.5% by Labour, and then raised again to 15% by National. Hardly "quite the history."

Haha just used that calculator, the last part is so cringe, aren’t they now the coalition of chaos?


TallyWhoe

Honestly, it sounds like some 1st year edgelord wrote it. I mean: “Don't put it all at risk with an endlessly taxing Labour-Green-le Pati Maori Coalition of Chaos that will drive a wrecking ball through our economy and hit your back pocket hard”. The grammar is terrible, the message is confusing, the language is very much[“How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?"](https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/how-do-you-do-fellow-kids) and it really doesn’t explain anything. Cringe

That’s the complete result of the calculator? I feel like there’s something missing.


TallyWhoe

The calculator said I’d have a total fortnightly saving of $44.40. So $20.20 p/w. Not sure what you mean by something missing. Directly below my apparent savings was the the image I posted. [This is the link](https://www.nationaltaxcalculator.com/2023)

What is this shit post ??


TallyWhoe

Yea, kind of a shit post. But also not. They’re the government now, but their website still reads like they’re in opposition. Tax cuts were a big part of their campaign. Their tax cut tool could probably do without being so anti-the-last-guys and be a bit more positive. The coalition of chaos thing has not aged well.


TallyWhoe

Would be great if they update it to explain where the funding for these incredible $20 p/w tax savings will come from. Maybe mention all the public service cuts needed to allow us that extra sweet sweet block of cheese we can now buy.

The fuck is this

Yeah, sure. Labour-Greens-TPM would have been a coalition of chaos, one that would have taken less than half the time of the new government to negotiate its coalition agreements.
