Comments by "Andrew Sainsbury" (@andyinsuffolk) on "Election question 3- Why won't you charge the equivalent of National Insurance on investment income?" video.
Yes all tax complexity is undemocratic in principle. But that includes 'progressive' banded taxation and transfer taxes. Voting for a politician because they might reduce your taxes or increase them for somebody else reveals they are not working for the collective good - taxes should be simple, broad and low. Equality of treatment by the state is fundamental.
