@Purewalite depends how progressive it is, and where the exceptions are. Obviously this isn't a policy proposal, if I suddenly became appointed to world king I'd get experts to cost and analyse it, but I'd propose things like an exemption for your primary residence. Alternatively, we go full revolutionary and socialise all housing. Probably to big too soon, but we need that honest and open conversation, and to start taking the safest steps as soon as possible so we can start to shake out the second order effects and respond to them

@Purewalite which double tax is the problem?

I have been trying the stewardship angle. Collectively we have resources which we should use to improve society. We've tried letting the mega-rich direct those choices, and the results have been dismal. Surely it is time to give stewardship to our communities instead!

@Joe Hatton aren't a lot of the minimum wage jobs, the really critical ones that society depends on?

@Joe Hatton Quick question - would you be happy getting on a high speed train, if you were told the driver is a rookie on minimum wage?
