Wealthy Kiwis want to pay more tax

[king1]

The government sets the rules for tax and everyone pays what is decreed to be their share. Anyone who wishes to pay more can of course do so, but I think most people who wish to do more for society will pass on giving the government a chance to mismanage even more money, and will choose where it goes. It's called philanthropy and it's alive and well in NZ, just like the rest of the world.

I think the existence of that open letter might suggest a significant number of high net worth New Zealanders disagree with you on that.
