hunky, one of the referenced articles states that it is a tax dodge.  No problem there - simply jack up the price of the forestland to account for that.

The whole thing reminds me of the health care crap here.  A proposed plan with minimal details, and everyone is assuming the worst for their side.  Simply because people don't pay taxes may not impact the Treasury if the revenues from the sale compensate.

Really PA... do you really think that the majority of people even have the tax reasons at the top of their list?

It's only a tax doge as you call it on private woodland. Public woodland is different. I don't believe that is what PA is hinting at.

If the tax is all you are worried about on this or it's the first thing you think of, then you have got to be pretty hollow.

If Goldman wants your forests- then knock yourself out.  I think it is not fair- but if the people of the UK want that- then so be it.

even still-- being that she is a large land owner- it would not hurt her to sell her land-  so that it can pay the banks which she owns.     and NOW.       The City of London is sure a scam.

...subjects are not sovereigns.  ...so you guys are screwed.  By next year- there will be no public lands at all- with anything that has not been provitised already- to be privatized.

If she sold her land- she could pay the bank that she owns in the City of London.
