Because the right wing media wants it to be. The answer is simple.
Cool if owning property is work. Let's abolish capital gains tax and charge it as income.
Because at the end of it. That is what the telegraph etc is saying. They are trying to argue Starmer agreed to hold all taxes when the manifesto clearly stated working taxes.
Cool call their bluff all capital gains is now charged as income tax.
Ain't capitalism grand.
Well no other system would sell a waxing kit to a yeti.
So I spose its...... unique
Nor does capitalism to be fair...
It's certainly... something.
