Grey Geoff Piercy

What are the older members of our community thinking and saying about the present political shenanigans?
Geoff is president of Grey Power Southland and writes in his regular Soouthland Express column:

"The world once again is not far off a financial meltdown, a crisis similar to the 1930's and what does the New Zealand Government do? It takes money off the little kids trying to earn a dollar to help themselves or their families., it makes the sick pay a couple of dollars more for prescriptions, cuts roading subsidies in the south, so ratepayers pay more, while pouring millions of dollars into Auckland's infrastructure.
Remember the Government's trickle down theory? "Give those at the top tax relief and benefits will flow down through the economy". It hasn't and it won't.
  Would it not have been fairer to take from that sector and give the paperboy a break? Regretfully, fairness doesn't seem to come into the equation."

Well said, Geoff.
