“..The only party that’s ever had a plan is ACT, who took the trouble to The only party that’s ever had a plan is ACT, who took the trouble to cherry-pick the best-working policies from all round the world. If Brash’s policies looks similar, that’s why.
Would we rather he drew inspiration from the basket-case countries?..â€
and..heh..!..number three..
“..cherry-pick the best-working policies from all round the world..â€
here’s a thought..!
why not cherry-pick the ‘best’ working policies from those countries which self-evaluate as the ‘happiest’ countries in the world..?
wouldn’t that make some sense..?
but whaddaya know..!
those countries just happen to be those higher-taxing/higher social support/higher govt. spending as % of gdp..scandanavian countries..
y’know..!..where there are no underclasses for scum to exploit/demean/persecute/scapegoat on..eh..?
oh..!..guess what..!..those countries also come with low levels of crime/social unrest/child poverty etc..
hey..ansell..!..didyahear how the decades of your ‘wrong’ policies..(more on that later)..
have taken us to the top of the child poverty rates..?
we’re number one..!..we’re number one..!..noo zeeland..!
there’s a lot there to be proud of..
now..back to the ‘wrong’ policies..eh..?
you ansell..have obviously not yet seen the recant/mea culpa from allan greenspan..?
where he admits to a congressional inquiry..
that his life-long-held ‘freemarket’-beliefs..are..in his words..’wrong’..
and that those ‘wrong’ policies.. are what caused the american/global economies to implode..
i really think you need to go and see that mea culpa ..eh..?
and why don’t you take brash with you..?
eh..?
