"Why then are Labour pushing this mansion tax thing so hard?" Because it appeals to their core values of envy and jealousy of anyone who has done well for themselves, and very few of their voters will have to pay it ? The whole idea of ring-fencing a particular tax for a particular purpose, in this case the NHS, is anathema to the Treasury mandarins, who will undoubtedly run rings round Ed Balls if he tries to do so. |
