Taxation
Sir, —Mir Lake says the National Party is not going to enter into a bargaining contest this year. How refreshingly different! He apparently is stUil convinced that economic stability is only possible through taxation. This is a false premise. Im one paragraph he states that “the Government’s desire was now to increase the standard of living”; in another pamgraph he is quoted as saying “that the basic cause of most of New Zealand’s economic difficulties in the last decade had been an excessive level of domestic consumption.” Perhaps your other readers can, but I fail to understand how a government can raise the standard of living while reducing the level of domestic consumption.—Yours, etc., JOHN FORSTER. June 26, 1963.
