UK Wealth Tax Needed; Rich Not Paying Fair Share

Fuck You!!!!!!

Actually, while I disagree with Seth on most stuff, here is where I disagree with you. "The people" don't get to decide what rent I can charge on my house, or a room in my house, or a condo that I own. I ought to be able to charge a $1,000,000 a day if I want to. If my rental is worth it, then someone will pay it. If nobody wants it, I lose and it sits empty. The rental value of something is what a willing buyer is willing to pay a willing seller. That's it.

You in the US effectively have infinite land, if someone can't afford the rent they can go and live somewhere cheaper. In the UK where minimum wage won't even cover a single room in a flat the state basically has to pay part of the persons rent or that person lives on the street (and has a fair chance of ending up in jail which costs the state a lot more than rent) there is a strong argument for some sort of rent control. There isnt really any rent control in the UK so basically the state ends up paying property owners via benefits to rent out their rooms which isnt a healthy situation for the tax payer

Stop having babies and overpopulating your landmass. Or emigrate. Or, kill off all the old, feeble and disabled, who are just a drain on the economy anyway.

While that is definitely one option I prefer the restrict unlimited capitalism option it leads to a slightly more stable society
