Press Release

Government Competition!!!!!

I was driving along behind a very large truck when I noticed a sign on the back of it that read “Don’t steal - the Government hates competition”. This statement in just a few words tells the reader a true fact that affects every New Zealander.

They tax us on taxes, ie: local body rates, a tax itself, but we also pay GST (another tax) on top. They tax us on our pensions and confiscate overseas savings to help subsidise the NZ super scheme. They take from law abiding citizens but pay criminals the same amount of pension as they receive. They pay pensions to people that have never paid a cent into the economy but have lived here for only 10 years. They take from ordinary New Zealanders who have worked overseas and paid into that country’s super schemes.

They even take from Kiwis who have married overseas and whose partner’s pensions equates to more than the NZ pension. The Kiwi then receives absolutely nothing yet he or she could have worked and paid tax for over 45 years. The IRD tax us as individuals but MSD combine us as couples to use their DDP to avoid paying pensions.

These deductions are carried out under the guise that the NZ Government, (MSD) does not want anyone or group to have a financial advantage over ordinary Kiwis born in NZ. This is carried out by the civil servants appointed by the politicians elected by us supposedly to act on our best behalf. Our MP’s have their superannuation bolstered each year by $32000 of tax payer’s money twice the amount paid to pensioners. If they turn 65 while still an MP they also get the full NZ pension, so who are the “double dippers”?

When are New Zealanders going to wake up to what is going on in this country and understand the need for change. All Political Party MP’s promise the earth to get themselves elected but fail on many occasions to deliver when they do so, with little or no accountability.

NZ Seniors Party does not promise anything except that if elected we will work tirelessly for those people who voted for us. We are not career politicians, we are ordinary citizens who are fed up being ignored and have decided to do something about it. There is a saying that goes like this: Great things in life are seldom achieved by one person – they are achieved by a team effort.

We invite you to join our Team so we can achieve great things for all New Zealand.
