That has nothing to do with increasing pay across the board to every Tom Dick and Harry. You are kind of right. I got paid higher, than some existing staff, for my first job because I have a radiochem and chemistry degree. I was constantly told by work colleagues at the time because of that.	kahawai chaser (3545)

Cousin of mine, a truckie, tells me they are invading the trucking business. This includes major companies like Fonterra, George Weston, etc. Niece tells me the same in the retail/petrol station/super market sector.	kahawai chaser (3545)

With private enterprise at least you have a choice of buying or not buying a product or service. With the IRD - You WILL pay tax or pay a penalty when you don't pay tax.	Webdevguy (17166)

I suspect the "efficient" that Cicero was interested in is not the same as the Apple "efficient", quite the reverse in that the goal is to maximise the amount of goods for the money given. Apple is indeed like the IRD in that "money in" is the sole aim, value to the customer is irrelevant and there is a legal team to keep it that way. :D	R2x1 (4628)

When you go to the supermarket you choose which supermarket you go to. When you walk down the aisle you choose which brand of what product you want to buy. No one is forcing you to take their product over another companies product. When it comes to paying tax you don't have any choice. You pay it or you suffer the consequences. The last part of your quote is complete bollux.	Webdevguy (17166)
1384201	2014-09-21 05:14:00	It's about comparing apples with apples. "Bollux" is all you can get :D	R2x1 (4628)
