The magical world of New Zealand's, Neo-Liberal right wing.
It has been obvious that some people live in a different world than the rest of us.
One where Chicago school economics, work!
One where you save the village by blowing it up!
One where global warming can be stopped, Canute like, by legislation.
One where dropping wages and giving everything to bloated financiers, makes us better off!
One where removing money from an economy makes it work better.
One where every country is going to get rich by out exporting every other country.
One where enabling greater inequality than the dark ages, works!
The one with the trickle down fairy. "Give us the money and we will p-- on you".
The
market fairy. "Leave it to the market and we will cut your
wages,impoverish your children, and tell you it is a brighter future".
The Austerity fairy. "We will become better off by becoming poorer".
The
catching up with Australia fairy. "We will catch up with Australia by
doing almost the opposite of everything they have done".
The Democracy fairy. "We will let you vote, to change the names in Government, or on a few social issues which do not affect our making money off you, but not to make any meaningful changes to the way the country is run".
The
privatisation fairy. "We will ensure that the NZ current account is
forever in deficit, by selling all the income earning assets"
The
debt fairy. "We will cut debt by borrowing $300mill a week, to pay for unaffordable tax cuts, to pay for our Hawaii holidays".
The Job fairy. " We will increase the number of jobs by putting thousands out of work, and cutting the unemployment benefit".
The
"We support business" fairy. While ensuring New Zealanders have no
money to buy from local businesses, and increasing small businesses
costs.
The better future fairy. "We will give you a better future by paying you less, charging you more and cutting services".
It is pretty obvious which side of the political spectrum is on another planet. Planet Key!
(New Zealand's, financial industry shill, Prime Minister).
Desiderata (Excerpts). Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. No less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. Keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. --- Max Ehrmann, 1927
