So why now?

So why start a blog now? I've followed blogs for a number of years and thought, why the heck not? I've recently become a father and want to ensure I instill a strong sense of personal responsibility. How do I do that? My father is part of the "low tax, but I still want all the services" branch of the National Party.

My philosophy is different: I want low taxes, but only so I can buy the services that I want, not the services that the Government thinks I want.

With this blog, I hope to vent my frustrations with New Zealand and the way we are governed, focusing on politics and economics but also musing on any other topics. This will be a record of my journey to being the best right wing dad I can.
