Max Rashbrooke: Victoria University researcher says there's enough big earners for a wealth tax to make a difference
A wealth researcher says there's enough big earners for a wealth tax to make a difference.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has ruled out introducing such a policy this term or next term if she's re-elected.
Senior Associate at Victoria University Max Rashbrooke told Mike Hosking we have very large inequalities in New Zealand.
“What people are normally trying to do with this kind of tax is not tax ordinary fortunes, people who just happen to own a house that’s quite valuable, but those really big fortunes.”
