Comment on Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’
davidagain@lemmy.world 1 month agoWhy are you so cross about this? He only means that he’ll tax their unearned income a bit more, and if they really are working people out won’t affect them much.
The extent to which it affects workers is the extent to which they aren’t workers.

Why am I so cross? Because I am stripped my working people by Starmer despite me working all my adult life and still can’t start buying a house, for putting a bit of my savings into stock, just so he can claim he “didn’t raise working people’s taxes”.
That’s just peak slimey politician behaviour.
Do I think people who own a lot of stocks and assets should be taxed. Yes, let’s tax those motherfuckers. But just be more honest and stop twisting the definition of working people.

So sorry, there’s a typo in your second sentence and I can’t figure out what you meant to say.
