I might be a lone voice here but I believe they should do nothing and let the free market correct itself.

A very simple but salient point that Bjauck makes TeslaGod. In a truly "free" society, ownership of assets affords one certain rights & obligations which will be relatively sacrosanct. But in NZ we aren't a genuinely economically free country - far from it in fact. Sadly, regardless of whether the figurative flag on the Beehive has been Blue, Red or blended this has been the situation for quite a period now.
Under the current regime our economic & financial freedoms & rights have continued to being eroded. Alarmingly, and partly under the faux veil of a Pandemic, we see that rate of erosion now accelerating.
Let's call a spade a spade. In a socialist-fascist run country like NZ, in the eye of the State private ownership of assets has less meaning & significance and hence is treated with less respect. To them it's just a name on a title to whom they can supposedly appoint responsibility to if "things go bad".
Utopia for Socialist-Fascist politicians is an environment where they have ultimate CONTROL over assets, regardless of who "owns" those assets.
Keeping in spirit of this thread title, to gain a better insight to what's really happening under our noses, just follow the money trail...The RBNZ (as are most central banks) is just an instrument of the State. An instrument now being used more overtly, but also still covertly, to gain and exert control over our beautiful country, including the key financial assets you "own".
Excellent post FTG
Post of the day!
I am curious as to what you call “the free market.”
1. Simple Supply and demand. Law of the jungle - no regulations, law, standards, legal enforcement framework. A free-for-all type of market.
2. Supply and demand subject to the law with relation to representations, standards, quality regulation, system of enforcement. In other words a structured market.
As you say tax is evil, who would protect your assets from theft and invasion. Would you have a system of private armies and vigilantes so If a dispute arises the party with the strongest army wins.
1: Definitely left to the individual/ company to run as they see fit. You get what you pay for, you fail then that's on you and your bad management.
A well paid, well trained private company owned police force. Not dictated by ideology of the government, Paid well by the companies, investors and local communities.
So tax is evil?
We could still have police but paid for by a different 'tax'.
I presume that police force would only help those who had paid and the rest are on their own - user pays?
What about hospitals, schools, roads, sewerage, and water? Who pays for that?
Would you share your vision of an untaxed society would look.
Basic blue print would be modelled off ACC.
A mix of private and charter schools, what's being taught in schools today only helps those who are capable of higher education.Most education after year 10 is a waste of everyone's time.
Privatisation of all council services.
A goal would be to cut tax but 25% then 50% then 80% and hopefully have no tax paid .
