And maybe my initial calculations are wrong on the &quot;budget&quot;... </p> <p> But am I right in thinking that those of us who labour all our lives but can&#39;t afford to buy a home are now going to be paying more in tax than the rack landlord on his buy to let investment he&#39;s fleecing us to occupy? In another era even the most liberal of economists would have recognized this as robbery of the returns to labour. </p> <p> Nice one Dahling!
