Finally some sense in politics

I haven't had a political rant for a while but I must say that I am impressed with Roger Douglas. Yes, this would be the same Roger Douglas who gave us 'Rogernomics'.

- Adjust tax thresholds
- First $20K of income tax free
- Get rid of 'welfare for families'

With all the farting around and bickering between Labour and National it refreshing to see a party laying all the policy cards on the table rather than dealing them up one at a time.

It almost suspiciously seems that Roger has been reading my blog. Perhaps the Jama Party should join forces with ACT.
