To be clear, I mean employment is already taxed extremely highly.

Burnham put cost of living as his highest priority, then this is the kind of measures he comes out with. If you think more red tape and bureaucracy is going to help then I've got nothing.

This isn’t red tape or bureaucracy though. Many things are, but not this. Infact it actually reduces waste for both comapnies and citizens because they won’t have people applying who will turn down due to the salary.

Forcing employers to declare information is bureaucracy.

The opposite to bureaucracy is allowing them to approach hiring however they see fit.

Hardly an “excessively complicated administrative procedure”

In modern Britain it's death by a thousand cuts for anyone brave enough to start a business in this regulatory environment.

Opposite to bureaucracy is cash in hand and paying no taxes - that will make the businesses boom.

Advertising salaries upfront lifts the salaries. Study a bit harder man, you will make it.
