The impending tax hike.

I see that John Key has not yet ruled out increasing our tax's to pay for the Christchurch recovery, however, all indications are that is the way he is heading.
I could live with a temporary tax hike, I really could.....just as long as he spreads it out across all sectors of the community, and as long as he is prepared to tell some small special interest groups to go and get fucked.

He needs to tell the Greens that we ARE going to start mining in the Coromandel.
He needs to tell the climate change pricks that all of the ETS fuel tax is to be diverted to the Christchurch relief fund.
He needs to tell all beneficiaries (yes, even those on a pension) that their 3.7% increase is to be reversed.
He needs to tell all Maori tribes waiting on settlements that they will just have to wait a few more years, all settlements should be stopped right now.
He needs to cancel interest free student loans immediately.
He needs to cancel all funding of the arts immediately
He needs to contact BMW and tell them that he is not going to go ahead with the upgrade and if they get shitty about it then they can sue us and risk losing their entire market overnight because he will impose a 100% import duty on all BMW cars imported into NZ.
He needs to tell the UN to go and get fucked, NZ will not be sending any money to the UN for the foreseeable future.
He needs to tell all the parasitic pacific island nations that they will not be receiving one cent in funding for the foreseeable future.
He needs to slash working for families in half (ideally he should cancel the whole thing but that is not going to happen)
He needs to cancel every single overseas trip by our Parliamentarians unless that trip is trade related.
He needs to tell the NZRU and the IRB that we cannot afford to subsidise their piss up to the tune of 52 million any longer, either they wear the entire loss or the cup can be held somewhere else.

If Key is prepared to do all that, to spread out the pain and to make it fair....then yes, I would support a temporary tax increase.
