The NZ Green part is well known as the beneficiaries party, what better way to pass the days waiting for your next dole cheque than playing video games.

Their latest scheme for spending other peoples money:

My tax dollars have helped bomb hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians into oblivion, so I guess I could say I've gotten a lot of bang for my buck. How many babies do your taxes bomb, hmm?

There is a huge difference between giving a gift and the government giving a gift using your money.

There is even a difference between dropping money in the contribution box in private, and having a collection plate shoved in front of you with everyone watching. 😵

You don't want NZ involved in a multibillion dollar industry in which our
location doesn't harm exports? ICT is the logical market for NZ to get into.

I can agree with the BANG part and must say that it is sad that such force is deemed necessary.

That makes too much sense for Wajoma. Saying that we were always amazed that NZ could send lamb and apples to Scotland cheaper than we could ourselves. How did you do it?

There's an election soon in NZ and as H L Mencken rightly observes "Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods."

It's interesting to see the watermelons (NZ Green Party) are promising to spend .4 billion on environmental issues and 4.5 billion on non-environmental issues. Great fun buying votes with other peoples money eh, and quite revealing of what they're really about.

Nah, they'd get arrested for cruelty to animals if they got the monkeys drunk.

Not the environment anyway. As you can see by their proposed spending spree. I think they'd actually be better off if they stuck to environmental issues but it's a cover.

What are they really about? Hiding their true agenda, far left blood red economics.
