We don't need to raise the top rate of income tax, because the top 9 percent of taxpayers are paying nearly half the income tax in New Zealand, and the bottom half of taxpayers are paying only 8 percent of the income tax. Or they were; that was last year. This year, this Labour Government has decided that it is not punishing people who work hard, save, invest, study, and get ahead—that they're not being punished enough. So now they want to introduce a new top tax rate just to really send the message that if you do the things we ask kids in New Zealand to do: if you go to school, if you listen to your teacher, if you do your homework, you get good grades, you turn them into qualifications, and if you start a job, and if you work hard and if you put some money away and if you save it and invest it carefully—if you do all of those things, the Labour Party's message is "We're here to take more money off you with a top tax rate.", and is it there to raise more money?
