Tax Hikes

At the home front, we have seen that both the government were willing to give up so much for their troops. Even from early on, militarization was the key goal of the British government. But to reach this increased industry, the government would have to increase taxes and increase the workforce. Having to pay all these new workers and ship supplies to the combatant armies abroad did not come cheaply. So in reality, raising taxes was a way in which the British could achieve all this during WWII.
But, even though this new tax hike may have been seen as necessary, the government stepped over the boundaries of ethical control by limiting many other aspects of people's lives. The British government intruded into people's lives when it mandated a decrease of luxury good and other. This is where I draw the line at what the government can do and what it can't.
