DrD<p>Economic growth is often powered by workers spending - they don't have the luxury of hoarding like the well-off. Cutting pay equity is a gvt shooting itself in the foot to paint a better picture for bookkeeping purposes. <br>The lack of courage in properly taxing capital via a broad-based CGT (that would conservatively yield over $7B pa) has been rejected by the sexist men and crumb maidens of this gvt because they've calculated they can afford to neglect low paid women and women in general. Wrong. Majorly wrong. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/payequity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>payequity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NZPol</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/onetermgovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>onetermgovernment</span></a></p>
