The flyer suggests that if Labour won they would slap a tax on homes worth £2 million-plus with the flyer suggesting an additional £6,000 a year
This is such nonsense.....the true figure is probably likely to be considerably in excess of that...in fact more likely to be £18,000 a year.
This may not be in their manifestos but it's very much on their 'wish for' list.
George Monbiot is advising the Labour Party to replace Council Tax with what he calls a Progressive Property Tax: in other words, a tax based upon the value of your house or flat.
The interesting thing about Labour and Lib Dem policies is that they are devoid of any encouragement to wealth creators; you know those horrid people who pay vast amounts of tax and employ millions.
Council Tax is about clearing the bins and sweeping the roads. It costs the same to collect the rubbish from a rich man as it does from a poor man. Envy of successful people has always been the hallmark of socialists and communists. And it seems the rot is spreading to increasingly sad LibDems.
