Not included in the correction of course, is the fact that (as reported here) the Ipsos survey “showed more respondents supported than opposed a number of new taxes, including a significant majority in favour of a wealth tax". 25617

Paul Campbell @moonbaseotago.bsky.social · 04/10/2026what about Australian state payroll taxes? - they pay for state things like roads, police, teachers etc, and they effectively depress wages (they are paid by an employer off the top of your wage), here in NZ these same things come out of income tax 100
Paul Campbell @moonbaseotago.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I suspect that this doesn't include state taxes in some countries (like payroll taxes in Oz, and income/sales taxes in US states), or separate taxes for retirement (like in the US), but in NZ it includes everything 110
