They should be forced to retire immediately, fire all employees, close
down any businesses, stop their evil practices. Higher paid entertainers
likes of Jagger, Paul simon, McArtney should be forbidden to give public
performances. Chairmen of large public companies should hand over all
their duties to the office junior. Lets stamp out the evil carry on of
providing goods and services that people actually want - it's causing
these greedy pricks to make a profit.

For your information Fred none of the people you name are on the list
of shame, aka the greed list of billionaires who have accumulated far
more wealth than they need or can spend.

Keep a modest amount and give the rest away to those that need help.

A lot of people already do that.

A lot of people who are not rich do that.

Would you want to enforce it? I.e. confiscate the property from those that
are not voluntarily sharing it?

Until you had actually given it away though, by your own description you would be a member of the hall of shame of billionaire greedies who had accumulated far more than they could ever spend.

And you would want to pay maximum tax on the "modest" amount that you selfishly kept for yourself. Although why did you say you would keep some rather than giving it all away? Isn't that just greedy - after all, there are something like six billion people in the world. A true socialist would only keep what they consider their fair share after redistribution, i.e. 16 cents.

Heaven forbid anyone should work hard, employ others, accumulate capital and invest it.

Patrick, do you think the billionaires keep all their money under the mattress? Or do you think they might invest some of it as a hedge against inflation, thus creating more jobs?

That is why the employees of some of the super greedies deserve far
higher wages than what they get now.

You still consent to the terms of the contract. You may not like them, but
you consent to them.

That's far from my experience.

But regardless, people voluntarily consent.

That's not coersion by the prospective employer. You could argue that it's
coersion by nature, but not by any individuals. The employer is offering
people a trade agreement - one they either agree to or they don't. But don't
mistake the fact that the employers still voluntarily consented.

You make it sound like those employes didn't have a choice to seek
employment elsewhere.

Did their initial employment contract allow for this to happen? If so then
yes it is freely given consent. If not then they have a case to take up
against their employer.

The employer/employee relationship is one of trade.

My point is that those employees have consented to the terms of their
agreement.

High unemployment policies? Your talking shit as usual and ignoring the
facts of an international monetary crisis and Australias larger economy.
Pretty typical of halfwitted marxists like you.

Many of them are going to work in industries related to mining. You know, dig it, drill it mine it? What you and your idiot mates are all against happening here. Labour and Greens are the most anti employment and anti opportunity parties in New Zealand.

The reality os that despite large numbers going overseas, and

high unemployment rate, that stubbornly persists because of poor
government decision making. Rhetoric is not the same as results pooh -
National don;t understand the difference either - their falure to do

We have a large number of unused resources - all those unemployed
youth. A few of the millions wasted by National on big pay on the
Solid Energy debacle spent on investing in getting those young [people
into work would certainly be worthwhile. The problem is that National
have only contempt for investing in the development of people . . .

Airy fairy content-less hand-waving from Dickbot.

Fact: Youth unemployment spiked immediately after Labour abolished youth rates. Unemployed youth have Labour to blame.

Fact: Labour/Green oppose the exploration, mineral mining and fossil fuel leading to those employment opportunities going to same in Australia.

How has mining gone in NZ since November 2008, JohnO?
And how has emigration to Asutralia gone in that time?

It has suffered a lack of growth, due to Labour/Green incited public hysteria against new mining exploration.

> And how has emigration to Asutralia gone in that time?

Great. The Australians don't obstruct new minerals exploration like we do in NZ.

Thanks for reinforcing my point, dumbass.

What a stupid useless f%^king marxist muppet you are Dickhead. You don't

The reality Dickie is that New Zealanders have been fleeing overseas in ever
increasing numbers since about 1840 and the numbers have been breaking
records on an annual basis since 1999 (something your far to dense to
understand or accept).

Labour looked after youth just like it did for those on minimum wage.
Unemployment started shooting up after the stupid marxist muppets increased
the minimum wage by 25%. It made about as much sense as buying back Kiwirail
which needed serious money invested in it during an international recession.
Vote Labour folk, but only if you want to see the workers and taxpayers
screw so Labour/Green can buy houses for their retirement fund.

Much the same as both have done since 1999 Dickhead. Badly and in ever
increasing numbers.

Not everyone is a failure Patrick. That's why there is such a list. Do
you think these people should only work until they have accumulated what
you deem sufficient and then stay in bed all day, like those who have
accumulated sfa?? What good would that do the world? (apart from the
fact there'd be less tax to dish out to the bludgers)
