Ah, Hacker News, where even Winston Churchill is an ignorant leftist.

1909 was a very different tax landscape. Income tax was 3.75% and Winston Churchill was trying to raise it. I don't think CGT existed in its current form at all.

You are correct, I think his sentiment still has a great point though when looking at it through the eyes of ownership being of the few, and inheritance tax being overlooked in the UK in some cases.

Especially seeing as royal family wasn't the greatest fan of him.
