Oh man I don’t know what’s funnier, the shit this guy says or the fact that his voters believe him.
Luxon, who owns rental properties himself, was asked if he intended to lower rents on those properties.
“It’s not about me. It’s actually about a policy and I don’t benefit from this policy.”
That’s actually a quote? Fuck, this guy is dense…
“That’s a no from me, dawg”
The greatest scam the world has ever seen. Trickle down economics.
Wait till you learn about Christianity… And the rest of the religions.
Wait till you find out that Churches pay tax in many countries.
Ah yes, still scams
not here; and they can even masquerade as a church while running a business selling cereal…
Ah yes, the warm feeling of tax cuts trickling down
Mmmmmm, but why is it yellow?
Because they haven’t been drinking enough water
no time for water when there’s expensive chardonnay
The good news is that he’s given measures to mark his policy by:
- increased rentals
- “downward pressure” on rents
The bad news is that the most easily measured one he’s deliberately fudged and been very careful to never say that rents will actually go down; just that there’s downward pressure on them. So he can claim when they continue to go up, that well they would have gone up more if it weren’t for giving some of the wealthiest New Zealanders a tax cut.
I don’t think his core voters care as long as their house prices keep rising.
Rents have just gone up again where I live. Council rates are rising by around 15-17% in at least two two regions.
