Ive lost friends over this election. I have lost right-wing - TopicsExpress



          

Ive lost friends over this election. I have lost right-wing friends who defended John Key by shaming poor people and benefit bashed while, at the same time, talked of John Keys rock star economy - what an oxymoron. I just want you to know, if you spouted this ignorance and hate speech in front of me, regardless of how long we have been mates, I dont want to know you anymore. I have witnessed to many people suffer in desperate poverty to tolerate your apathy and arrogance. John Keys welfare reforms have further plunged people into grinding poverty in NZ and we now have 1 in 4 children living in poverty. Just a reminder to my friends who get a kick out of shaming people based on their circumstances: poverty is structural not inevitable. The war on the poor has to end, and anyone who perpetuates it is no friend of mine.
