| 792467 | 2009-07-17 09:00:00 | www.stuff.co.nz Do I wait until Westpac (my bank) is found guilty before switching to KiwiBank? It isn't just that NZ's IRD has been shafted but that the money has ended up over the Tasman. What a load of shysters and we wonder why the world's financial system has collapsed. But GoldmanSachs is looking forward to enormous bonuses. blogs.nzherald.co.nz String the bankers, accountants, economists and financiers up from the lamposts and hope some of our money will fall out of their pockets.

If the customers lose money on a deal, that's the customer's fault - if the banks lose money, the customer is socked with higher fees to restore the bank's profit sheet. |

| 792469 | 2009-07-17 09:38:00 | It's the effing IRD in this case, as far as I can see. No-one can take them on and win. I thought the rules at the time weren't broken. They will then go after the other banks. So in order for those other banks to recoup their losses, the customers lose out... |

| 792472 | 2009-07-18 03:20:00 | Why should the bank dabble in tax evasion schemes? x2 But according to what I have seen on tv it was a government idea initially and now IRD has changed their mind . That to me is unfair . They should have told the banks - OK you have done it, but from now onwards it is not legal . |

| 792473 | 2009-07-18 18:38:00 | In the US all of our banks are build plumb and square - unless they be "Mobile Banks" where some leeway is allowed and not considered damaging to the edifice or general exterior appearances . Perhaps your "Crooked Banks" are that way from trying to use a plumb bob in Upsidedown Land where UP is DOWN and South is Cold and North is HOT . I can see the reasons and understand why your buildings and general architecture might be crooked after all . :eek: |
