The FT view: let those least able to pay bear the burden of tax https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/04/18/the-ft-view-let-those-least-able-to-pay-bear-the-burden-of-tax/.The FT has an editorial on tax today, implying that if the wealthy are asked to pay more, they will run away. Except that there is no evidence that many will ever do that. So what they're really saying is that if more tax is needed, ask for it from anyone but business and the wealthy. Some things never change.
