NZCrusader:

KiwiNZ: 

Group A

Very high unemployment, poor Housing, very poor health status and high hospital admission, very high prison and offending including family and other violence. Much lower life expectancy.
Current cost of Benefit payments, Hospital and other health cost, Prison and other crime cost make up a high percentage of the fiscal vote.

So it is our job to pay for people who:
-Muck around at school.
-Don't try at life and get off their own backside.
-Participate in crime.

Really?

KiwiNZ: 
Group B
Less than average unemployment rates, average to better than average housing, Health status meeting WHO expectations, much lower crime and other offending. Life expectancy meeting WHO expectations.

Cost of benefit payments, health etc lower and generally short term,

Yea this is what happens when you go to school, try and actually do something with your life.

KiwiNZ: 
Group C

Very low to zero unemployment rates and generally very short in duration and frequency, well above average housing, well above average health status, very low offending and above average life expectancy.

Very low cost to the fiscal vote.

Given that it makes absolute sense to address the problems that group A has first as the gains to the community as a whole are greater and long term, in other words more bang for your buck. Yes groups B and C may feel they are aggrieved that they are missing out, but that is misinformation and they stand to gain greater in the long term by less fiscal drain on the Government and taxation.

Fix that which is broken first improve others latter. 

This is what happens when you may inherit a fortune, win lotto or work really hard and achieve.






The flaw with your argument is:


A - I wasn't there for the signing of the treaty. I don't actually give a crap about it. I live here and I expect everyone else who lives in this day and age in this country to have equal rights.

B - You think that it is up to people like me, who work hard and never cease to study to fork out for people who muck around or do not apply themselves.


Honestly, how do you think people are going to feel if they have had to go to school, study, work hard and then see their peers who mucked around (regardless of culture) get freebies like what Mana is trying to offer.

Defeats the purpose of anyone trying at life if there are always freebies that deter anyone actually working hard for it.


Not sure what everyone else's views are, but these are mine.
