Spend on corporate welfare.
Wealth taxed at lower rates than wages.
NAO said that wealthy abuse the tax system
It is class war

A lot of rightful reminders at the death of Norman Tebbit over his role as architect of Section 28, which pointlessly ruined the lives of so many young gay people. The same legacy transphobes are doing their damnedest to leave behind today. History always repeats, just shittier.
