[@user-gz6tx6yp3v]

They are financially illiterate. When your background is mortgage administration, this does not qualify you to run monetary policy for an entire country, Raising business taxes reduces the tax take, because companies shrink and lay off tax paying staff. Raising Stamp Duty raises less because people stop buying property. This also affects employment in the construction industry and in the financial services and manufacturing/shipping industries which are also tax payers. You cannot tax your way to prosperity, you have to reduce taxes to create prosperity.
