Guys, we can't introduce a wealth tax, all the right people will just leave. I mean look at Switzerland, they've had a wealth tax for centuries and if there's anything they're lacking it's rich people.
wealthy people had reacted by leaving the country or rearranging their business affairs to minimise any tax liability.
There's no point making laws, the crooks are just too clever for us.
Land tax AND wealth tax ftw
If only a certain party hadn't abolished capital controls...
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
