But the thing I find most offensive about his speech is his continual harping on about "hard-working New Zealanders" as if bus drivers aren't hard-working New Zealanders, cleaners aren't hard-working New Zealanders, and people who are in the care industry aren't hard-working New Zealanders. He seems to think that only people who earn a lot of money are hard-working New Zealanders, and, therefore, they deserve more back. Well, on this side of the House, as the Minister said, we think that people who earn a little bit more should pay a little bit more, and that's what this progressive tax system does. And as the OECD said, this is not the time for tax cuts. This is the time to hold fast and have a rational tax system.
