But let's do some myth-busting about the National Party. Yes, people are doing it hard, but the myth is that National actually cares about those who are doing it hard. The fact is that National is planning to target tax breaks to the highest earners rather than those most affected by rising prices. National wants to get rid of the top tax rate of 39 percent, a tax that affects only the top 3 percent of earners. So we've heard that those earning $250,000 per year or more would get a $5,000 tax break. Meanwhile, the lowest-income earners—cleaners and so on—would get $2.15 per week, and those lower-income earners are mainly women. Women are doing it hard. Mothers are doing it hard—mothers who are juggling kids and jobs and working from home and dealing with historical pay gaps that see some groups of women earning an average of close to 30 percent of Pākehā men.
