I'm not the most political person on Earth but I do my part when its time to vote, so that I am entitled to an opinion.
So here it is:
In New Zealand (where I live), we have just recently had an election. And currently the "National Party" is running the show, which is headed by none other than "lets make the rich, richer and the poor, poorer" John Key.
I voted AGAINST you John Key! As if you would read this...
I chose my vote based on what the parties had to offer. Lets just say last term we had John Key.
He has not had the worst run of all BUT a lot of policies he promised were never brought to light and some he just flat out rubbished. Like for instance (which happens to be my fave), he promised to lower taxes but instead he decided it would be much better to not only raise the then GST of 12.5% to 15% but also add taxes to food! WTF? Like it isn't hard enough to get by in this world...
What? Am I supposed to grin and bear it? I am disgusted by the fact that he blatantly disregards the citizens of New Zealand who maybe don't fit his description of a "hard working kiwi". Sorry that the rightful residents of the country don't convey the ideal "Kiwi" description.
Promises, promises Mr Prime Minister...hows about for once a politician not only does what he or she says they're going to do and stop fucking around riding in new BMWs 'cause the old ones turned 3 and stripping poor people of what little sustenance they have left.
You want to cut the benefit if mothers don't go to work instead of looking after their babies at home is it? Well, that's great except that New Zealand has the highest child mortality rate in the developed world. Most of this is caused by malnutrition and poor healthcare services for children which is caused by ever decreasing welfare payments (Thanks very much, Paula Bennett, who is also a National zombie!), wouldn't it be a better idea to give the children of today the resources they need like free healthcare? And how about we start taking care of them while they're in school, like they did in the old days, where kids at school received in the least a bottle of milk for lunch. Why can't as a government YOU cannot see that without the children we have NO future? As a suggestion I would recommend that we stop charging parents "school fees" for stupid things like printing etc and charge them a set rate that includes a free lunch each day and a better education. Now I'm not knocking the teachers here, I believe with what resources they have, they are doing a great job. I just think the government should start thinking about things like that and not what we can do to help oversee buyers of our assets get richer at our expense..
I could say a lot worse things about our Prime Minister, which would all probably be false - it would make me feel better - but I wont.
And to all those who don't like what I have to say, I say to you "So what? You don't like it? Then go read something nonsensical and witless and go help someone who doesn't need it just so you can feel like part of the National party, you zombie."
Corporate bigwigs piss me off. The government pisses me off. Idiots who follow an opressive regime type government piss me off.
If you voted for National YOU piss me off...
