And:
The National Party’s budget yesterday was a socialist shocker. It’s a budget that will only grow dependency on a more and more powerful Big Brother Tax Surveillance state. For my overseas readers, National was supposed to be our party of limited government which professed belief in a small state - small 's' - and an individual’s freedom to be left alone pursuing their happiness, so long as they harmed no one. But yesterday Finance Minister Bill English proved the lie of this. His budget grows welfare, indeed, advantages welfare living relative to working, and contains nothing (NOTHING) for hard working freedom lovers, business people, risk takers and entrepreneurs – because National understands with how the free society is brought so low in the twenty first century, it only needs pander to the Statists. Symbolically this budget throws millions more dollars of taxpayer money at the government spy agencies, including IRD to audit the lives of tens of thousands more Kiwis. In the long game English and Prime Minister John Key probably think they are being clever taking the centre left and creating a viable ACT Party, but in actuality all they have done is use their reign to cement in the State as a huge, brutish disruption in the lives of the free, and in a way an honest and professed Left Labour Party could never have done so thoroughly, because this is about bad philosophy spooned into the gaping maws of sheeple upon an electoral deception, indeed, a blatant fraud of misrepresentation.
@bryce_edwards Budget is proof there is now only the Left in politics. Dreadful ethos of huge State has won; we learnt nothing from 20thC.

I
feel as gutted as those on the Left after the 2014 election when Labour was
defeated so soundly, and I feel like this because yesterday the National
victors enacted a Labour budget, and my eyes are finally opened – they always
were, every English budget has involved a bigger State spend than the last
Labour government, but this budget rubs it in, and in a way that can no longer
be ignored.
I
don’t know, quite, what my above Twitter Timeline means, I don’t think I’m
flouncing – perhaps I am - but it is a final turning point, somehow. I only see
total disengagement from the political process as an option which allows any
degree anymore of pursuing my own
happiness. One certainty is I can't see myself voting again in any general election anytime soon.
Bill
English and your Progressive chums: you arses. Traitors, who have just
disenfranchised the majority bloc of your voters: go to hell.

Budget details announced on Thursday include a further Budget allocation of $74 million over five years for Inland Revenue’s investigations activity. This will target property speculation, and for tackling the hidden economy and aggressive tax planning strategies, Revenue Minister Todd McClay announced today.
