Annual change in total tax revenue per capita is very slumpy. Hopefully Govt will work out soon that Govt spending *creates* the $ that people use to pay taxes - Govt just need to make sure that they tax those $ back from the rentiers that hoard it. I'm getting impatient. [Ends]

In a surprise only to Nicola Willis and the Govt, crushing the New Zealand economy reduces the tax take
