The FT view: let those least able to pay bear the burden of tax https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/04/18/the-ft-view-let-those-least-able-to-pay-bear-the-burden-of-tax/.The FT has an editorial on tax today, implying that if the wealthy are asked to pay more, they will run away. Except that there is no evidence that many will ever do that. So what they're really saying is that if more tax is needed, ask for it from anyone but business and the wealthy. Some things never change.

@RichardJMurphy Also, why should we care if higher taxes purges the UK iof sociopaths?

Maybe it would be a good thing, along with a lot of career politicians.

The less people here who put money, ego and personal power above everything the better.
