The thing is that there’s a massive turnover in law firms, particularly at the first, second and third year levels, but there’s so many hungry young graduates coming up that it doesn’t matter…plenty more cannon fodder coming up through the universities. Makes me cross - seems like an awfully short-sighted way of treating staff really. Also, importantly, I don’t think the way in which law firms presently operate necessarily delivers the best results to the client or society in general.

At least some of you.

Now now. It never hurts to advertise.

How the F does that help anything???

I do agree with you that the tax laws are in dire need of reform. They just get more and more complicated every year, with more and more “exemptions” and “bonuses” - the cost of administering all this must be massive - much easier to have a simpler system where there are far less administration costs and people pay less tax in the first place, rather than having to wait for bonuses, rebates, exemptions and the like.

But I guess governments like taking a lot of tax from us - they can effectively borrow the money for that time, even if they have to pay some of that money back to us at tax time.
