Of course it's possible to do better with regard to ethical behaviour both in Govt and politics. NZ realised it was on the wrong track for example and Finland a small country with an 58% tax-rate (on average) manages to run an economy that is not over burdened with debt, in fact it is in surplus. It also has the highest standard of literacy and numeracy in the world, universal free schooling and health care, comprehensive welfare cover and its citizens recently polled as some of the most happy and contented on the planet. This is all, we are told, impossible. Our economic theorists insist that low taxation and low government spending is the way to prosperity and lets free market pick up the oportunities to create wealth and jobs. Thus the good things "trickle down" to the workers who are individually resonsible for their own welfare.
And it's not working very well at all. So how do we dis-allow it DA?
