It provokes the desire but it take away the performance

This insight documentary below gives a good summary of the crisis that has developed for families under nationals failed leadership.

Insight from National radio 13/3/11

It talks of a Government trying to force parents into work (that isnt there) and children into care at the same time as they take away the ability of early childhood providers to erect an education system that raises up performance.

Indeed it reminded me that a right wing thought is nothing more than cheap p#ss brewed up to avoid taxes and packaged in a fancy bottle.

While it promises money saving heaven and gives everything a heady toxic invitation, the reality is increased family violence, increased crime, depression, blurred vision, blindness and a distinct performance failure in certain social areas. It is no wonder they constantly go on about hard times and not wanting to go soft.

Well their policy brew has certainly driven many New Zealanders to the wall. 

Around me I see increasing transience, fathers leaving families to move to Austrailia, parents driven from the home, children from their education, as we all to try and earn the free market cost of a crust of bread, and as I see that I remember the start of that other great bastion of the free market, the Irish famine, where southern grain surpluses were  shipped overseas to line pockets while the people of the north starved or emmigrated. We haven't left those times, even as we speak it still happens around the world, how much more would it take to happen here, for some families has it started already?

As I see cuts to family support, channel six privatised, cuts to education and the "rich" rewards of right wing governence as well as numerous other attacks on families creating the worst times in recent New Zealand history  to be raising a family, I have to ask is this governence for the people? If not who is this for and who does this benefit? I also have to ask how will we pay the future social cost of this gut rotting poison.

I'll leave you with this song from our past, one of many documenting family abandonment in hard times,  http://folksong.org.nz/my_mans_gone/index.html    

"A few months after the 1929 Wall street stock market crash, farm produce prices in NZ collapsed.
Our economy depended almost entirely on farm exports, and so we had massive job losses.
By 1931, over 50,000 New Zealand men were walking, walking - looking for work."

1. My man's gone now. He had to go.
   He couldn't find no work around this town.
   Not for ages. Used his wages.
   Got up this morning, and he was gone.
   
   
2. Monday morning. It starts to rain.
   Around the curve there comes a south-bound train.
   Under a tarpaulin rides a bum called John...
