Comment on Record breaker Starmer is the 'most unpopular PM since polling began'
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoHuh? You’re pro rich people dodging tax?
Shit loads of multi-millionaires/billionaires were buying farmland as an asset so they didn’t have to pay inheritance taxes out on it, too.
It’s absolutely right that Labour started making them pay tax again (yes, again, they used to do it and family farms still thrived back before Thatcher gave a Tory-voting demographic a tax exception)

No, I’m pro-actual-farmer keeping their family farm in the family. People dodging taxes need to be taxed but catching real farmers in the crossfire is not good. It’s very bad.

It’ll still be in the family. They’ll just be paying some tax.
Not enough by a long shot, mind you, but some.

We had the most family run farms when we had the inheritance tax on them.
