    In New Zealand the Progressive Socialists powers got so bad post war that they had labor police telling small single person businesses like garages when they could open, when they had to close, and how much they could “pay” themselves and the tough one for one man shows, they had the prove they were paying themselves enough. Barter was illegal. If we continue in the direction we are going you’ll see that here

    Bill,

    What do the CJ-3Bs pictured above in the Philippines have to do with New Zealand?

    Usually I delete politics from posts, but since I have a particular interest in New Zealand, having spent a month there years ago, I did some research and could find no evidence that barter was ever made illegal. In fact, barter was written into the tax code and multiple references discuss how popular barter is in New Zealand, especially in rural areas.

    Also, following WWII the National Party (conservative party) had control of the government for 20 of the 27 years. The Labour party (liberal party) was only in power 7 years. So, if you have a specific link to back your assertion, I’d be very interested in reading it.

    Thanks,

    – Dave
