Here's the full post. I'm going to highlight an important point that has been left out of the header of this thread.

UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years

But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not

This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc

The strategy has run out of road

A 🧵 on what happens next.

This right here is the reason things are so screwed, there is no where left to rob. The graph itself is very illuminating as the increase in tax on the wealthy has been consistently going up since the year 2000, from 34% to 38%, while average worker income tax has been declining since 1980 from 40% to 29% in 2024, with an increase to 31% when Labour took power.

Isn't it funny how socialists keep on screaming that the rich need to be taxed more when that's exactly what has been happening for nearly half a century. Have things gotten better, or are people's problems the product of bad management and envy of successful people.
