Wealth creation

-

All credit to Graeme Hart and Richard Chandler for creating wealth, they have grown the pie. Would New Zealand be better off if they were bureaucrat­s or civil servants? I think not. They probably have created hundreds if not thousands of jobs raising up the standard of living of their employees.

Like the rest of us they eat three meals a day, use one bathroom at a time and drive one car at a time albeit probably not a Hyundai or Daihatsu. They undoubtedl­y put in more hours’ work than most, take fewer days off, and throw no sickies. They are rewarded for their results, not for just turning up to work.
