Governments consistently increase the cost of living through taxes, waste money on re-election schemes (NHI, free college, unnecessary roadworks etc), lose millions in tax concessions to foreign investors, borrow and waste public funds and do not allow govt salaries to keep pace with inflation and they wonder why they have a problem?
This is a two way street, doctors deserve to be fairly treated and compensated, but the public deserve for them to do their jobs professionally, efficiently and competently! Sadly, too many do not do their jobs properly!
Maybe we can start by tariffs on all products imported from the Dominican Republic. They poaching our seafood, but we still buying their products. Not very smart to me!
Contraception and education are the two things that could reduce rates of poverty in this country, but too many people don't want either although they are basically free!
All sensible employers (businesspersons) will make concessions and pay more to keep good productive staff. It is the scarcity of good workers that will keep the minimum wage low or encourage layoffs to minimize losses to businesses.
