Is It Just Me 

Is it just me or is this headline possibly bullshit?


Tax greatest concern to voters says poll
29.08.05 1.00pm
Tax 22.5%
Health 17.8%
Education 9.3%
Law and Order 5.7%
Welfare 4.7%
Economy 4.1%
Student Loans 3.9%
Unemployment 3%
Moral Issues 2.6%
Immigration 2.2%

Tax has overtaken health as the issue of greatest concern to voters in the latest Herald-DigiPoll survey.

And concerns about education have fallen dramatically.

Before the May Budget, tax figured well down the rankings, cited by only 5.8 per cent of respondents as the most important issue in New Zealand. Health was top of the ratings, followed closely by education.

But after Labour's family tax relief package and National's tax cuts policy, tax is now the number one issue for 22.5 per cent of those polled.

It's the greatest concern to 22.5% of those polled but it's NOT the greatest concern to a measly 77.5%.

Interesting that immigration is so low considering how much traction Winnie the Pooh Stirrer gets out of bashing those who have recently done so. Isn't there a story there?

Or that unemployment isn't the primary concern of 97% of the population?

Why don't they get people to rank the issues then they might get some stats to sink teeth into?
