Yes they'll moan a little (but quietly). In the main they'll take what they are served and pay and keep on paying. Good subjects one and all. <BR/><BR/>The fun'll be in a few years time when the support for the new taxes grows to become entrenched. Then they'll demand that they be raised to keep New Zealand "clean and green". The result will be more people on welfare and subsidies of one sort or another. Here it comes, expect more impoverishment and lower standards of living. <BR/><BR/>As was well written, "Democracy is when the people get what they want; good and hard." <BR/><BR/>SiotuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-86582304050774380342007-09-17T12:56:00.000+12:002007-09-17T12:56:00.000+12:00An opportunity arises to fight obesity too, with a...An opportunity arises to fight obesity too, with airlines charging passengers on weight basisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-34235590619777005782007-09-17T11:26:00.000+12:002007-09-17T11:26:00.000+12:00Channelling John Boy or Boy George?But seriously, ...Channelling John Boy or Boy George?<BR/><BR/>But seriously, I have been waiting for this. I've always thought that when environmentalism starts costing people notable money it would end real fast. <BR/><BR/>This is going to backfire badly on the Greens - hopefully in time for the next election.<BR/><BR/>Suspect Nats may let the game run for a bit - give them enough rope and all that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
