FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Alliance: Taxpayers Are 'Fat Pigs'
'Fat pigs' is how Sandra Lee's tertiary education flyer labels taxpayers, and Libertarianz Deputy Leader Richard McGrath
demands an explanation.
"She has just plumbed new depths with this disgusting insult. Taxpayers are the very people who are robbed in order to
fund Ms Lee and her fellow politicians," he said. "Have they forgotten about Ian Mutton? He was the 'fat pig' hounded to
death by Inland Revenue."
Dr McGrath is at a loss to understand how our current income tax system was ever passed into law. "How can our
politicians sleep at night with the blood of Ian Mutton and others on their hands? How can New Zealanders oppose the
death penalty on the one hand, yet sanction the IRD driving innocent taxpayers into the grave by their threats and
bullying on the other?"
Dr McGrath asks why social spending can't be funded voluntarily and administered by private charities. "It is the only
moral way to fundraise and deliver care to those unable to look after themselves," he said. "If anyone deserves the
label 'fat pigs' it's those with their snouts in the public trough. The trough that Inland Revenue used to top up
regularly by stealing from Ian Mutton. Now they steal from his widow."
