Ryan Bridge: The Green's budget is in la-la land · Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: A few sea words for you for your Thursday morning
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: communist coalition and crash. I'm not going to do the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: other one crash, because that's what would happen to the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: economy if we lived in this green utopia, complete with
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the eighty eight billion dollar tax grab announced yesterday. A
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: coalition because that is what you would get if labor,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: not if really, but when Labour shacks up with its
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: neighbors on the far left. Hipkins yesterday first claimed not
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to have read the manifesto, which no one believes. This
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: is the manifesto of a party he could well be
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: sitting around the cabinet table within a year from now.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: He then refused to rule out anything in it. Won't
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: rule out the hammer, won't rule out the sickle. The
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Greens and this is what this shows us, once again,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: are by far and away Hipkins's biggest achilles heel and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: therefore Luxeon's greatest strength. Remember the hit that they took
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in the polls. This is Labor over the defunded police thing.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing about New Zealander is your middle voters
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: that they want these bigger parties. We may not right
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: now be affected by the inheritance tax, or the wealth
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: tax that they're talking about and proposing the higher income taxes,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the company tax hikes which would put them amongst the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: highest in the developed world. But the problem for Hipkins
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and co is that we would like to be Kiwi.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Families would like to start a business and create a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: life for their families, an asset and income, a future.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: They dream of working their way up the latter at work,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: get that better salary, get into that better house that
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: they've been saving to own. They don't think it's fear
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: for part of mum and Dad's life, work and savings
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to be stolen and taken from them by the state
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: at their end. The election of John Key showed us
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that families are ambitious in New Zealand. They believe in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: themselves to do better. They're quite motivated and they are
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: ready for this recession to be over so that basically
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: we can all just get on with it. I've never
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: doubted that spirit in New zeal And. That spirit hasn't
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: left for Australia. It's just been hiding under a rock
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: for six years. And yes there are social problems here
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: in New Zealand. Two. But what we learned from the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Fading Days of Hipkin's reign is that voters don't trust
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that if they give up their hard earned money and assets,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that the state has the ability, all the wherewithal to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: change any of this, to fix any of it. They're
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: like the TMU versions of a Michael Joseph Savage. Many
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of the houses he built still stand. Building never started
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: on most of Chippy's. And that brings us to the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: final seaward Communists, because I don't know what else do
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you call them. The Greens are planning a road show
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: after this pre budget announcement that they've done. My only
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: question for Chloe Madama and the rest of them, will
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you be traveling to these towns and cities by bicycle
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: or will you be flying on an aeroplane? For more
