I think this is an excellent policy, and a long time coming. This is done overseas with good effect. While I don’t think it’s a magic bullet, it is definitely a step in the right direction.

    Introduce another tax bracket already!

    Admittedly that’s tricky with most excess money not actually being earned but reinvested, maybe I’m advocating for a CGT (thanks for wholeheartedly trashing that idea, Jacinda!)

        Kinda, but I get why she avoided the issue entirely…

        It sounds really be left to us so that we can argue it out amongst ourselves though (rather than being tied to a party). I’m being naiive here, but a bit like the medical marijuana (hopefully without the disinformation!).

        Because she categorically said “never, not on my watch” it means it’s never going to come up (unless national has a stroke)
