Even putting that aside, the overall amount of tax has increased dramatically under this Government. How much? Well, if we take the amount of tax that the Government was collecting at the start of its term in October 2017, and we ask ourselves how much more tax it's taking for every person—and there are no tricks here. We're adjusting for the growth in population. There are more people now, and that's good. We're adjusting for inflation—that's been rapid. The price of everything is going up—we know that. But if we adjust for population growth and if we adjust for inflation, then this Government is taxing $2,138 more off every man, woman, and child, every human, in this country—even babies just being born. On their behalf—the average New Zealander—this Government is taxing more than ever before, and $2,138 more for every person than it did when it took office in October 2017.
