Ugg!
Why didn't #Labour levy a new tax on the wealthy to fund these #NHS hospitals now. What an easy message - "Those who can will pay for new hospitals that everyone needs"

@TCatInReality I imagine at least some labor officials are familiar with the story of killing the golden goose...
@TCatInReality oh no, seems to me they're rejecting the magical sources, perhaps by recognizing the realities of real people responding to tax policies.
Magically the money will keep pouring in? No, in reality once you tap it out, there won't be more.
You can't slaughter the golden goose and expect to keep getting eggs.

Yes, obviously some Labour officials are aware of fantasy stories about magical sources if success. But I had hoped that most believed in the actual reality of workers, public health and the importance of a growing middle class to economic success.
