    This makes them dangerous as economic managers. For example overinvestment in retail residential gives us dangerous rates of foriegn-held private debt, which weakens our economy and drags down our credit rating. There’s a comensurately low level of productive investment.

    Increased income inequality means our economy is more sluggish at recovering from downturns (I’m not sure what alchemy produces that, but it’s a known phenomenon throughout the OECD).

    The fact they’re just randomly fiddling with the tax settings to achieve these tunnel-vision goals around landlords, is scary.

      They don’t care. They line their own pockets and their cronies’.

      It’s about making the economy better for the clique not for everyone.

        Temporarily better. This is the action of a parasite that weakens /kills its host, in terms of actually having a functioning economy.
