I did not realise that it was as unsatisfactory as that. Here the Bill is straining at the gnat of what expenses are to be paid to employees of the company but no reference is made to their salaries. In most companies the salaries are inordinately larger than any expenses that might be claimed. We are worrying about whether reasonable expenses are paid, but why are we not more concerned about reasonable salaries being paid?
