ACT Finance spokesman Rodney Hide said it was important for Labour's Michael Cullen to come clean on his views of Jim
Anderton's plans to tax New Zealanders stupid.
"Jim Anderton today announced that he favours yet another tax - this time on New Zealanders' wealth. This is in addition
to new income taxes, company taxes, a financial transaction tax, a carbon tax, estate duties, and heaven knows what
else.
"The Labour party should be up front with voters. Michael Cullen should declare which of these new taxes Jim Anderton is
planning he would rule out," said Rodney Hide.
