I always wondered if 'Vital Social Issues 'N Stuff With Kelly' was the inspiration for "The View"?

One of the baleful dimensions of our times is the way that the conversation about what constitutes the good society is framed by the rich and their interests. A conception of the common good withers; instead it is replaced by the existential importance of private wealth, private interests and private ownership to societal health. Nowhere is this more exposed than in the debate over taxation, and in particular the taxation of inherited wealth – as the debate over the past fortnight has dramatised.
Half a million people die every year. Under the reforms to inheritance tax relief on agricultural land proposed in the budget, about 500 individuals who inherit land worth more than £2m (£3m if they were married to the deceased) will join the rest of society and have inheritance tax levied on their bequest – albeit at half the rate, with an enlarged exemption and 10 years to pay it, concessions not made to the rest of us. How fortunate and privileged are they?

The BEST way to destroy anything is to TAX it.
Like Kelly Bundy says, the only two consistent things in life are Death and Texas.

Food cult 🤣 as opposed to a foodie
You insult pigs.
LOL
FDR did the same with Gold in the 1930s.
Just who do does this commie fool think is going to end up getting the land? It ain’t going to be the poor is my guess.
Ask Bill Gates.
Watch Jeremy Clarkston’s reality show “Clarkston’s Farm” on Prime. You will see how the local planning committee’s can control everything a farmer can and can’t do on their land.
Its a classic comedy, but with the over bearing oppression of the state trying to quash everything they try to do.
The BSSR will be no more a bastion of freedom than the USSR.
The ruling class are saving the planet for themselves.
The party is about over isn’t it? It came just in time to rescue them from loss of empire. They squandered it. Norway, on the other hand, made better use of the windfall but there are fewer of them.
History is such a wash-rinse-repeat affair isn’t it? I wonder how many examples of the same themes we could find to group. There really aren’t that many themes are there? Taking a shot at a few: Greed, Envy, Fear, Power?
The British went after the wealthy after WW2 and all the large estate houses like you see in period pieces mostly disappeared, due to the insane taxes.
The British use taxes to punish successful people or those they don’t like.
This decision will lead them soon to be food poor and have to import most of their food, which will further impoverish their once great nation.
And they Rhodesia to look at to see what will happen if this goes through.
But since Britain caused Rhodesia to fall, maybe this is payback...
True. Especially so, since farmers tend to vote conservative. They know quite well what‘s at stake for them under leftism (wink, nudge to Mr. Stalin).
“...we must stand with the farmers...”
I’ve seen first hand what the coops have done in the centeral valley of California and it was the demise of the rancher, period. I can understand where part of the problem is from that really came into effect beginning of WW II and the purchase (takeover) of land from the Japanese in the San Joaquin Valley. And the land was held by certain families using their resourses to accomplish a firm hold on it for their use. In other words they created their own coop. One would raise alfalfa, barley, and sugar beats and another milo and alfalfa, while a third would raise cattle and dairy. Self contained for the cattle industry while another was supplying funds through the sale of citris and government subsidies not to grow it but was allowed to sell it internationally.
Now, is that illegal? No. But it does hamstrinbg the smaller ranchers that turn into local sales people at less money. And that’s where the complaint is coming from. But having the government step in and try to help the small rancher is not the way to do it. And they’ve already marked their territory so the pissing contest continues. It needs to be handloed locally, not federally. But they have to grow a pair and do it.

When Covid hit-— Washington bureaucrats made decisions about NECESSARY companies-—ETC.
THEY SHUT down the plastics companies that make milk containers for retail, etc., but left open the companies that make the small containers for school milk.
Dairy farmers could not take their milk to the processors because those companies did NOT have containers to put the processed milk into.
For a number of DAYS——Many farms threw their milk onto the ground-—fed it to pigs, etc.
South of where I live in N Nevada-—2 large multi-generation dairy farms sent 610 dairy cows to auction on the same day.
BOTH farms wiped out.
I know the Vet that works those auctions
She told me she stood there & CRIED.
I will point out that small family farms use family for labor.
CORP farms use ILLEGALS & other INVADERS.
