Social Care tax

Tax boomers more, simples

The "boomers" already pay more, and they whinge a lot less. After working for most of their lives they have amassed some wealth. That is how it is meant to work.
You facebook generationers need to get some time in the workplace and stop your endless envious bleating. Nobody gives a sh*t!

You mean you've had it on a plate. Free education, jobs for life, cheap housing, North Sea oil, selling off national assets, gold plated pensions.

Today, education not free, zero hours contracts, expensive housing, no assets left, crap pensions.

Any any complaints and you get photographed, kettled, and branded for life.

I sorry, but boomers have had it on a plate mate.

He's also got like 8 kids.

That evens it out a bit...

Good to see the Labour green eyed monster is alive and well.


“I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”

Winston Churchill

"The landlord who happens to own a plot of land on the outskirts of a great city … watches the busy population around him making the city larger, richer, more convenient. .. and all the while sits and does nothing. Roads are made … services are improved … water is brought from reservoirs one hundred miles off in the mountains and -all the while the landlord sits still … To not one of these improvements does the landlord monopolist contribute and yet by every one of them the value of his land is enhanced … At last the land becomes ripe for sale – that means the price is too tempting to be resisted any longer … In fact you may say that the unearned increment … is reaped by the land monopolist in exact proportion not to the service, but to the disservice done."

The irony of a politician uttering those words. All goods increase in value if their complementarity increases. Big deal. There are problems with the housing market but these are driven by govt policy surrounding credit expansion, zoning and the possibility of tax deductions when letting it.

You are down playing how much a factor housing is. Huge rents huge mortgages. It's the biggest cost on people's accounts.

I'm not. Rental yields are pretty paltry compared to other investments a landlord can pour into. What makes them attractive is how much leverage you can acquire, particularly in an environment of appreciating house prices, which is driven by the factors I mentioned, plus increasing demand for housing.
