The headline, in Australia:
"‘Distasteful’: Growing calls to tax the family home"
The excerpt in point:
"Treasury estimates it forgoes around $50 billion a year in revenue by exempting family homes from CGT."
This sort of thing makes me wild with anger... 'treasury forgoes'.... Its YOUR money.... you earned it.... ITS YOURS.
Oh how benevolent of us to forgo not ripping even more tax dollars out of you...
'forgo'???
I cannot believe articles like this get written in a serious tone.
'forgo'....
THE MONEY/VALUE/EQUITY - is MINE.
MINE - by default.
NOT YOURS. NOT SOMETHING YOU FORGO.
DISGUSTING.
