- Description
A man cowers under a pile of broken masonry that represents 'broken election promises', 'rising inflation', taxes, cost of electricity, petrol and food, and '15% GST'. He says 'Please, God, tell me he's joking...' as a second man prepares to dump another block of stone representing 'capital gains tax' on him. The second man says 'I'm holding the answer to all your prayers!' Context - The Labour Party is planning to introduce a capital gains tax if it wins the 2011 election in November. The cowering man seems to be thinking that this is the last straw after all his other economic woes. The broken buildings may mean that he is in Christchurch but they may be metaphorical.
