Investigate Europe spills the beans on the ways in which EU national governments all seem to support the property-owning classes at the expense of the proletariat.
All part of the great governmental scam that keeps the elite subsidised and the poor in their place? Or all done for the benefit of the wider population by supporting a supply of well-maintained affordable housing?
So who does your member of parliament work for?
Being no expert in UK property taxation I'm not going to make any unfounded statements, except to say that (a) property investment in the UK has traditionally been seen by many as a route to prosperity and (b) I doubt if the UK government is fundamentally any different to other European governments in this matter.
I've no doubt though that this is all in furtherance of the famous EU interpretation of the "level playing field", and its companion notion of "transparency", so surely no need to concern ourselves about this?
Or is taxation truly the weapon of choice that permits all governments to favour the few in innumerable ways whilst keeping the many too busy and preoccupied to notice?
