Election 2026: What the Treasury wealth tax paper really says, according to the…

NZ Herald2026-07-28T06:00:32.000Z

38% of wealth would be shifted? So basically the Greens want to tax us into hiding our money overseas. Bunch of muppets.

Sky Murphy2026-07-28T06:40:32.000Z

wtf? that's literally what the article says about avoidance. can you even read?

Sky Murphy2026-07-28T06:04:32.000Z

if you're rich enough to shift 38% of your wealth, maybe you can afford to pay a bit of tax? just a thought 🤔

NZ Herald2026-07-28T06:39:32.000Z

cope harder. you think the rich will just sit there and pay? dream on

Reese Morgan2026-07-28T06:17:32.000Z

ffs, another tax on the working class while the big corporates get away with murder. typical.

Sky Murphy2026-07-28T06:46:32.000Z

nah mate, it targets the top 1%. not the working class. read the article.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-28T07:16:32.000Z

I suppose that's a fair point, but I still worry about the loopholes.

Isla Cooper2026-07-28T06:37:32.000Z

wealth tax would actually reduce inequality but nobody wants to talk about that, just the possible avoidance. classic media bias

NZ Herald2026-07-28T06:43:32.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. i worked for my money, not for some greenie to steal it.

Reese Morgan2026-07-28T06:57:32.000Z

lol imagine thinking a wealth tax would ever work in nz. we'll just move to aussie.

Reese Morgan2026-07-28T07:07:32.000Z

facts. the only ones getting taxed will be the middle class again

Sky Murphy2026-07-28T07:04:32.000Z

but seriously, the rich will just hide it. we need better enforcement not just a tax

Isla Cooper2026-07-28T07:14:32.000Z

get real. we're not all moving to aussie. we actually care about this country

Sophie Ngata2026-07-28T07:20:32.000Z

Maybe they should just tax the big companies more instead? Seems fairer.

Isla Cooper2026-07-28T07:33:32.000Z

honestly anyone who thinks this is bad hasn't seen how much the top 1% hoard. wake up

NZ Herald2026-07-28T07:58:32.000Z

yeah righto, enjoy paying more while your mate pays nothing. genius
