00:00 - 00:03Chloe, comrade, the government is
00:04 - 00:05contracting companies to build
00:05 - 00:07infrastructure, roads, public projects.
00:08 - 00:12They are paying them for their expertise,
00:12 - 00:15labour force and proven capability.
00:17 - 00:19Our taxes are paying these companies?
00:19 - 00:21Are they not doing it for free?
00:24 - 00:26Comrade Chloe,
00:27 - 00:28the companies
00:31 - 00:33The companies are making a profit.
00:34 - 00:36They're being paid for their work.
00:53 - 00:58Social media advisors and DEI specialists can leave.
01:13 - 01:15That capitalist bald egg!
01:15 - 01:17Wasting taxes paying for vital infrastructure!
01:18 - 01:23That should be spent on spa retreats for gang members!
01:25 - 01:28And appointing a Drag Queen to every school in NZ.
01:29 - 01:31Don't cry, Ricardo.
01:31 - 01:34Why should our country pay for the profits of shareholders?
01:34 - 01:37They expect to spend years on complex construction projects
01:37 - 01:40and to be paid for the privilege?
01:40 - 01:42Chloe, profit is the money a business makes after expenses
01:42 - 01:46Exactly! The pay them just for expenses
01:46 - 01:48Chloe, they pay taxes on their profits.
01:48 - 01:52If we don't pay them it cancels out potential tax
01:53 - 01:54Are you a f***ing capitalist?
01:56 - 01:57The Government should build this stuff itself
01:57 - 02:00Then they wouldn't have to pay anyone
02:00 - 02:03Luxon that unkind, corporate-speaking, old white man!
02:04 - 02:08Money is just numbers on a screen!
02:08 - 02:13Better the Government borrows money to expand the public service
02:14 - 02:16than pay private companies and grow the economy.
02:17 - 02:21Growth! You know what grows? Cancer!
02:27 - 02:29These career politicians know nothing.
02:30 - 02:34I've owned businesses before.
02:34 - 02:36My research is evidence-based!
02:41 - 02:42Why should any company make profit?
02:43 - 02:47We don't need investment!
02:48 - 02:53Seize the means of production!
02:54 - 02:56From the river to the sea!
02:56 - 02:59Abolish the prisons! Gangs are whānau!
03:00 - 03:02Everyone in Auckland hates the police!
03:04 - 03:07She'll calm down once she's had a coconut latte and a joint.
03:14 - 03:16Sorry, I got a bit off track there.
03:19 - 03:23You know who we need?
03:25 - 03:26Luigi.
03:31 - 03:33He knows how to get things done.
03:40 - 03:46Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution
03:46 - 03:49The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains.
03:53 - 03:56Workers of the world unite.
