In surgery I'm struck how povertyinequality doesn't just exist in extremes it's in margin of error people can take. If my husband beat me, or I got sick I have the financial/familial resilience to recover. Ordinary people have no resilience buffer zone. This is a place to focus.

It’s not taxes that are making precarious lives harder. For folks trying desperately to build stable family lives in a private rental sector where they can get booted out at the drop of a hat, a decrease in tax will not help. Same for folk whose salary stagnant for decade+.

Lower taxes will help them as effectively as a salary rise. Ending the growth in housing demand through population increase will help. 70% of that increase is from immigration. Take out the left wing ideology and these problems are very solvable.

Thankfully most people now see through that kind of magical thinking. The people who need the most help probably don’t pay taxes anymore so no help there. Employers will use tax cuts to pay their employees less when they can. And the lack of housing is not an immigration issue.

VAT, fuel duty, tobacco and alcohol tax are significant costs to poorer people. The Swiss are not underpaid. 70% of population growth is from immigration. To think it is not significant is delusional.
