I can mention that we work until the end of May before we reach "tax free
day", yes 5 months to pay all the govt. taxes before we then get money to
pay our other bills and maybe keep some of what we earn.......
Basic math 5 months out of 12 is higher than 33%.
Until the Kiwis are willing to pay that 15 cent per hwt. checkoff for all
the dairy product dumped on the US, perhaps they should be ashamed.
