@julianHjessop It’s also completely fictional, which is perhaps the more important point.

@DanNeidle How about making it tax deductible (with an appropriate adjustment), so it effectively comes out of pre-tax income?

For those paying high marginal rates, prop taxes are eye-watering when considered in pre-tax income terms.

(Just a bit tired of getting rinsed from all dirs.)

@Jonathan_Hinder If you believe wealth taxes are appropriate, even if they reduce tax receipts and discourage inward investment, then be honest about that and make the moral case: rich people bad, must be punished.

@John_Stepek This is just his grift, isn’t it? Bang on about taxing the wealthy (even more), be very popular with the idiot class, rake in the media revenue due to that support.

@DeborahDuffin @RhonddaBryant We also have one of the highest minimum wages in the world. (According to data from the OECD and the Low Pay Commission, when adjusting for the cost of living, the UK has the fourth-highest adult minimum wage in the world.)

@ukboomers Bugger. That’s another good dinner out you’ll have to forego.

[SystemThinker @_SystemThinker_]

@cjsnowdon Sounds tasty, tbh.

[SystemThinker @_SystemThinker_]

@TheAliceSmith Most are not even that.

[SystemThinker @_SystemThinker_]

@DeborahDuffin @RhonddaBryant The state is already doing a very thorough job of trickling it down. We have one of the most progressive tax systems in the world.

@mccourt_mccourt We should just shuffle the children between parents at birth. It’s the only fair way.

[SystemThinker @_SystemThinker_]

@elonmusk @mazemoore It’s a grift for the prominent figures of the left. They become wealthy from it.

[SystemThinker @_SystemThinker_]

@MikeGranby @asymmetricinfo This is correct.

[SystemThinker @_SystemThinker_]

@timothy_stanley On what policy platform?

[SystemThinker @_SystemThinker_]

@Miss_Snuffy All the maths and physics content I watch on YT would have been transformational when I was a teen.

(Like watching Bryan Greene and David Deutsch discuss quantum mechanics for an hour. Better than anything on TV.)

All to become inaccessible to enquiring minds.

@CompaniesHouse No update yet on your status page re: confirmation statements. Service still down.

"We will give a further update on service availability on Tuesday morning (16 June)."

@Wolandsblackcat @andrew_lilico It's not uncontroversial, though.

[SystemThinker @_SystemThinker_]

@NABurkinshaw But, the sheer entertainment value.

[SystemThinker @_SystemThinker_]

@Heccles94 The entertainment never stops.

@benbrownuk @introvertedme3 @DAaronovitch @afneil @richardpbacon Thanks. I’m not observing that in my feeds. No Reform content at all.

[SystemThinker @_SystemThinker_]

@Llewcalon @DAaronovitch @afneil @richardpbacon It reflected your world view. Hence, you believed it 'balanced'.
