Like the worst type of used car salesman, Keys continues, what appears to me to be, his plans for wealth redistribution from the poor to the wealthy (especially from those with children.) Changes to kiwi saver will effectively be a flat tax reversal, with the amount you get less likely to be a far greater propotional loss to those on the lowest incomes than on the highest, as he struggles to make up for his blow out on tax cuts for the rich and corporate bailouts. Like the tax cuts he promised before the last elections they'll seem reasonable until he gets around to making them, then inequities will be come apparent, despite any claims of overall finacial neutrality.

Next term will come the plundering of the family silver but as always he'll bung some sawdust in the gear box to quiten the noise, shuffle the peas under the cups to hide the changes,  then smile and confidently spin us a line till we buy his product.

 It's not like there's any confident alternative to vote for, which is a pity as I miss the steady as you go stable, future, and family orientated, finances of the last labour government and their confidence which was only shaken at the end. I only hope mana party gets a seat and by a miracle of mmp gets enough seats to shift the balance of power left, as Act shift it right through a similar miracle.
