You are apparently as ignorant as you are delusional.
80% of the NZ banking system is majority owned by four US shareholder controlled banks.
They extract from New Zealand billions of dollars annually - it is a form of tribute under the fiat debt slavery that is the petrodollar hegemony.
Those banks are funded with capital from US based sources and the cost of capital is charged as a tax deductible expense by the NZ subsidiary banks- profits are extracted free of tax to our US based banker overlords...in additional to normal shareholder dividends.
NZ pays its tribute to the US military industrial combine via this and many other channels such as buying US military hardware and fighting for US in its various global acts of aggression...like Iraq, Afghanistan and all the way back to Vietnam and Korea.
I understand how human power structures operate and how taxes and tributes are paid.
You do not.
The hierarchy of banks and military are highly aligned.
This is why I hold my liquid capital in Bitcoin...to not support the US military industrial rogue state terrorism...but I also acknowledge this hierarchy is a function of human power structures and all but unavoidable.
