They were tarrifs on food imports, supported by the land owners. > the repeal of the Corn Laws benefitted the bottom 90% of income earners in the United Kingdom economically, while causing income losses for the top 10% of income earners. Obviously it’s not hard to see why the wealthiest like tarrifs.
