    Of what value is that to society? If there’s no value and massive downsides, why should we protect reward them?

      Yeah the premise of the system is that society is benefiting. In practice I would agree that’s not always and maybe majorly not the case. In Australia there was a Henry tax review report that details a lot of changes to improve this situation unfortunately many have not been implemented. I’m sure the situation is similar worldwide.

        This is kinda my point - I’m not interested in the empty arguments and spin - I’m interested in what’s best.

        Unfortunately, the Australian government has a habit of commissioning studies rather than taking action (we’ve risen to power under the status quo - why would we change it?) - The Henry review was probably taken less seriously than the Gonski report.
