    Bogger - great word! The benefits of a Collective is you get to negotiate to the lowest common dominator. Which means you can be a piss poor teacher in Eketahuna and get paid just as much as an excellent teacher in Remuera. Aspirational stuff!

    No need for refined kerosene GTM - try doing like Tony Mokbel and escape by sailing away as there's bound to be more than our fair share of ill wind, headwinds, tailwinds, foul air, hot air, cold water being poured, stirring the pot, storm in a teacup, finger pointing to send you well on your way to either the rising or setting sun...

    Good article looking at ACTs flat tax proposal.
    ACT is for ideologue's, don't let facts and reality get in the way of your beliefs.

    Why would I let facts get in the way of my beliefs? I believe that at best tax is theft, and therefore the lower the tax take the better. Nothing ideologous about that at all. Just an opinion I am (still) legally allowed to hold.

    Certainly progressive tax is theft, simply because of its unfairness. But a level of tax is essential for a society to function.
