Why does the economy always do better than Treasury predicts when a left-of-centre government is in power in Aotearoa-New Zealand? Because Treasury are a bunch of right-wing fucks who always "forget" to take into account the annual increases to the minimum wage that a Labour-led government makes and all of the extra money sloshing around in our economy because the lowest wage-earners always spend every cent of their minimum wage unlike the rich and entitled white men who benefit the most from National's tax cuts...
Thanks Emily that was an awesome read. Thanks for your support for working people!
