UK Can’t Even Raise Income Tax Anymore

    So the UK government tried to raise income tax…
    and then backed off because their own forecasts showed it wouldn’t bring in any money.

    Why?
    Because the UK hollowed out its whole economy:

    • no industry

    • low wages

    • everything financialised

    • asset bubbles instead of real output

    They literally can’t tax workers because there’s nothing left to tax.

    This is what happens when a country chooses housing, migration and finance over industry.

    Looks a lot like where Australia is heading too.

    Thoughts?
