We would replace <br />it with a Land Value Tax of £100 per annum on every acre of England and of 0.5% on the value of every home </i><br />I did look at the Yorkshire Party manifesto but couldn't see anything similar. Alas, the bit the North East Party missed is ensuring that there would be no exemptions or discounts, so I like what they said but I'm not sure they could be trusted yet.Andrew Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442714147160589939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-14385684366095382582021-08-17T17:05:08.415+01:002021-08-17T17:05:08.415+01:00Pensioners have demographics on their side: there&...Pensioners have demographics on their side: there's a reason why the 1946-1962 generation are called "boomers" after all.George Cartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170378024031141482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-74299354145360116062021-08-16T16:06:53.246+01:002021-08-16T16:06:53.246+01:00M, good question, I'm sure they've mention...M, good question, I'm sure they've mentioned 'land tax' a few times but I can't find it either.<br /><br />M, agreed, but this isn't about right or wrong, this is about getting what you want by voting for it.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-72088586506201342242021-08-16T14:28:00.575+01:002021-08-16T14:28:00.575+01:00'"The organisation claimed the move will ...'"The organisation claimed the move will be the “last straw” after a series of financial blows to older citizens including the axing of free television licences for most pensioner households and the failure to overhaul the crumbling social care system.'<br /><br />So even though pensioner poverty is much lower than working age poverty, increase what they take out of public resources and decrease what they put back?
