yeah.... right

Once again - explain where the Government gives any of those companies a direct subsidy?It's not argumentative - it's a question? One that you won't answer.

Your demeanour is slowly getting more and more argumentative. Revealing, your intolerance, rather than your intelligence. 'Case in point if I was to look at the final result of ANY thing I could form an opinion to reverse economics, Just like yours

The Annual Reports for the three companies that you listed would be a good start.Why don't you point out in those where they get a NZ Govt subsidy?You can't - can you?

My challenge is to look for your self, if you find something diffrent to where i can see the paper trail, then your claim stands, i'll shut up, but until then, back up your (so called) intel with some greater understanding Mr. PEAK Oil NZ.

Are you claiming that the NZ Government subsidizes the companaies that you have listed?If you are - back up your claims with proof or retract your statement.Those 3 listed companies are not subsidized in any direct way by the NZ Government.Put up or shut up.

and yet, Uncle Helen hands them out like lollie's, Fonterra, telecom, empower, all listed profit, tell me there not subsidized
PeakOilNZ (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)
There was a question? Sloppy grammar and spelling weakens your point.There is no place for subsidies in a fair and just agricultural policy.

I wasn't saying it had anything to do with Rockerfellers, but as linuxluver is outlining its back to the esence of the statement. there not intrested in suply and demand, there intrested in redirecting there subsidies back into there own pockets.. And you still havn't answered my question
PeakOilNZ (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)
74 million net individuals added each year.Nothing to do with the Rockerfellers.That is a huge amount of extra mouths to feed. Try and watch Al Bartlett's video about Growth.
