And we've actually already been there, because the 2010 tax changes—reducing the 19.5c rate down to 10.5c—may have seemed like clever politics at the time, but the effect of it is that it has become almost impossible to get meaningful tax reform for lower, flatter taxes, because so much revenue is lost from that 9c drop on just about all income tax, because just about everyone who earns income tax earns that first $10,000 or $20,000. Of course, the problem with that is that you end up where Steven Joyce was come around 2016, where he was actually boasting that the National Party had made the tax system more progressive. Sadly, this amendment by Andrew Bayly is at it again.
