Exactly. It's not hurting poorer people.

Even though tax is bad, this is a good one. You wouldn't know it from the title and blurb.

Which sort of throws the opposition argument of 'higher housing costs for families' out the window.

Thanks for clearing it up.

I'm not a fan of more taxes, but this seems reasonable.

Yeah. I was just throwing a talking point out, everything seemed reasonable in the whole article but the Lemmy PWA has the title, an article blurb, and then the comment that, to me, leaned the other way.

It sounded like the tax was high to hurt every Victorian but it just isn't. I was wondering if this was poor reporting/clickbaiting or just me.

You cleared it up too.
