And yes, VAT is an awful tax, but would there not be a bit of an outcry if we made it regressive so the tax on RR's was at a lower rate than on Fords or Vauxhalls? <br /><br />BJ, yes, there would be more 'distributional' impact the bigger the tax shift, but it would still largely be sideways redistribution - i.e. from land wealthy to income wealthy, and not from top to bottom. <br /><br />Those who have no income and no land would not particularly benefit and those who have a lot of income and a lot of land would break even.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-73271345943391356892014-09-17T17:49:31.912+01:002014-09-17T17:49:31.912+01:00Ha!
