From the Editorial in today's Royal New Zealand Herald
It is impossible to avoid the conclusion that Cullen offered the reductions in this year’s Budget grudgingly. He is, at heart, a man who regards higher earners as “rich pricks”, and believes those who have succeeded have somehow ripped off their fellow citizens. He and his Labour colleagues believe they know how to spend people’s money better than those who earn it. The “chewing gum” round of cuts promised before the last election and petulantly cancelled afterwards - partly because people had not been grateful enough - is evidence of that.
