Are you implying the top 20% are tax dodgers? Have a reality check. We live in a globalised economy where currency flows freely. Should NZ be at the forefront of discouraging foreign investment? I'm not hopeful there's enough domestic $ to shake a stick. Anotherwords, can NZ survive without investment from abroad (albeit $ that is dirty or clean) ?

As 777 implied - not all rich people are out to rip off the system. I would say it would be a very very small %. If the farming operations of NZ were operating at a loss, i'm sure the results would be reflected well on Fonterra's books - it's just not the case.
