business confidence and giving a man a fish...

the right wing rags going flat out today.
first barry duplicity allen soper repeating the tired old platitude about giving a man a fish.
bahhh humbug.
give a man a job and then he doesn't need to go fishing!
this is just trite nonsense from someone who should know better.
but he wouldn't get paid then.
the worst thing is since the consolidation of the printed media in New Zealand then this crap is peddled all over New Zealand.
and the lack of local content means once superior newspapers like Mastertons Times Age now need to expand the print in their op-ed page so sopers nonsense covers over one third of the page?????
Anyway it looks like soper would rather see people starving and indebted to loan sharks rather than forgo his tax cut and increase in disposable income.
very close to sleazy barry.
and in the Dompost another rave about business and unions from one hamish rutherford as if they are the drivers of the economy when anyone knows that it is the demand from the combined world markets that set the tone for the New Zealand economy.
As the great economist of the liberal capitalists of the industrial revolution Adam Smith opined: "what people desire most of all is command over labour".
i.e. they want to be the boss and any diminution of businessmens power over workers  in New Zealand is an affront to their hypersensitive psychological self esteem and nothing more.
