David Seymour argues government becomes self-fulfilling when it overtaxes young people, risking emigration. He criticizes politicians for avoiding unpopular truths to appease polls and media, and says current policies create winners and losers through regulation and rights transfers.
What is the role of government? Government has a way of being self fulfilling. You don't want to over tax young people, have them bucker off to Australia.
I can't say anything vaguely unpopular because I might lose a vote at the margin. Just be terrified of the polls and the media. There is a political party called Te Parti Mori that represents this very divisive vision. I look at most of the current government's policies. There tends to be a goodie and a baddie. They bring in laws that basically transfer rights from one to the gets beaten for some reason because it's somehow sinister. It's tempting to to close everyone off. The government has laws and regulations up the wazoo.
