A Theoradical Thought On Wealth in NZ

By Moss Bioletti The return of the Aristocrat and their semi-charmed kind of life top 1% own 20% off wealth in NZ, explains a lot. Also 50% of all Kiwi wealthy is tied up in property now thats a big bubble or perhaps we will just see a return of the colonial phrase "landed gentry". To think Maori owned all the land at one stage in Aotearoa, makes an utter mockery of treaty settlements that some people are so quick to grumble over. Funny thing is the 1% wealth holdings will rapidly grow over time conveying the true farce of a neo-liberal open market, a mere mind game created by laws and monies of the rich. All forms of work will serve only the singular purpose of staying alive and semi-sustaining ourselves and families. The wider the gap between classes the larger the scale of civil dis-obedience, just as you see Max Key and his other fellows creating clubs with very few members, on the flipside will be the poor and former middle class congregating in much larger groups demanding social change. It will be interesting to see who proves victorious the elite or the masses as society becomes more polarized. What i find interesting is the fact that aristocrats number 34,000 in NZ (a populatoon nearing 5 million) who almost all belong to long lines of entrenched prosperous families and are themselves adults. So the question remains why do we feel the need to collectively previllege the rich on simply inbred birthlines void of any grounds of virtue or social incentive. Well as a good divided long-standing UK Tory said recently "the social contract is broken" and with such a problem like many over time only the true expense is realized after it is far to late, the french revolution springs to mind!
