Except they are taxing the wealthy, and protecting spending on the most vulnerable while trying not to kill off growth opportunities.

Can the mansion tax be deferred and paid as part of a deceased’s estate? That would stop accusations of “poor old ladies forced from their family home”

The problem with your argument is this:

Ok.
Let’s put it simply:
The uk is part of a consortium that builds the F-35. We also use it for our defence. All partners pool their components where they are then distributed by the controlling partner (the USA).
NOW, again, explain how this is evidence of the UK selling spares to the IDF.

To admit Trump is useless is for those that voted for him to accept some responsibility. They won’t.

The snag here is that the media think ppl can’t cope with anything more than 30 seconds of science.
It would be good to let the scientists have a short proper debate. Might be as long as 130 seconds! The phoney science is easily debunked (vaccine sceptics, climate change, Brexit economy, etc).

I didn’t mention cuts.
Productivity increases through better interventions, preventions, and use of technology (where’s the joined up IT?).
Yes, more funding to meet increasing demand as well.

I think you have short changed yourself by confusing capital gains tax with income tax on dividends.
The “tax advantage” of being paid in dividends is that you don’t pay NI on them.

No it is not a tax hike.
Earn more, pay more. The tax rate remains the same.
By your argument the richest are hit with the highest taxes (the top 10% pay 60% of all income tax).
Bottom line is the tax rate doesn’t rise.

Glad you agree dividends are subject to income tax.
The rates are lower bcs corporation tax has already been applied. CT slides from 19-25% between 0 to over 250k profit.
So, at minimum, 19% CT plus 8.75 IT on dividends = 27.75% tax on any divies over your tax free allowance.

It’s more complicated.
Govs can (and do) print money. That devalues the currency resulting in higher interest rates on loans (bonds) taking an even greater proportion of public finance in servicing the debt. Inflation also reduces ppl’s purchasing power, and reduces foreign earnings income.
