Capital Gains Tax?

Somebody accused Labour of  "Walking backwards into the future on the crutch of a new tax" - Must of been one of the other members of their  "Tag Team" National who are currently in the ring doing nothing but walking backwards into the future in a wheelchair of new Public Service cuts and the sale of State Assets".
