for super rich insulated elite there are no recessions
2013 share market rose 25% no capital gain taxes
during kiwi recession worshipped filthy rich listers
enjoy 20% wealth increases paid at necessary costs
unemployment eroded wages runt worker job losses
missing keys ethics morality equals increasing suicides
500 New Zealanders each year will kill themselves
50% of New Zealanders cannot afford dentists
poor women will be driven to prostitution streets
89,000 will live in snorkel house leaky homes
poor children will depend on schools for lunches
but poor children will not get promised free doctors
meanwhile John Keys promotes ANZAC parades
national is busy spending free under under-13s budgets
to drum up support for sending New Zealand soldiers
to war and upon war national will spend mega dollars
much more than on New Zealand poor discarded souls
