Vote Reagan Cutting for Wellington Central.

*Libertarianz Candidate Challenges Poverty Propagandists*

Libertarianz announce New Zealand’s youngest electorate candidate, Reagan
Cutting, standing for Wellington Central.

“After preparing a short documentary expose on one of New
Zealand’s poorest suburbs, which is also the greatest
recipient of public welfare, I was amazed at the level of infrastructure and
support services available, with seemingly no benefit to the people living
there,” said Reagan.

‘Left wing parties in New Zealand continue to promote the idea that there is
a never-ending need for continued public money to go into these areas at the
expense of productive New Zealanders.

I would challenge all New Zealanders to view this short film clip and then
tell me with a straight face that these people are really living in poverty.

The real problem with poverty in New Zealand comes when an overbearing
government reduces individual’s sense of self-confidence and hope. Poverty
is artificially defined in New Zealand by Statistics NZ as a relative
measure rather than an absolute one.

This means that if everyone in New Zealand became instantly richer, official
poverty would not change. Conversely if a billionaire moved in New Zealand
it would increase official poverty. New Zealanders are being conned into
supporting policies that can never solve the problem because the problem is
defined in a way that means it will always exist.

“I support cutting welfare to empower individuals to take control of their
own lives,” Cutting concluded.
