Hard to compete with a 300m lens though ;-) Hard to hold, too, I imagine.

Although before I supported a party proposing even that, I'd want to see some NPOV economic assessments of what abolishing GST would to the balance of tax paying between workers and wealthy. I note that its not part of the tax policy of any of the economically left parties (Greens, TPM, TOP, Winston First), and there will be reasons for that. The political challenge of persuading voters of it hasn't stopped all them proposing other radical tax policies.

Gareth Morgan in 'The Big Kahuna' described GST as a regressive tax, which I think is generally accepted. But then he didn't include removing it in his plans. I didn't understand why. I think I asked on the book's website/forum thing, but never got a response.
But it would make things so much simpler, and better for local retailers who have to compete with imports that, if small enough, have no GST (or has that been 'fixed'?)
