Rubbish….. you’re taking about the high end of earners. The top 5%.Like VAT and charitable status on private schools its a form of state sponsorship of the British class system.
It ensures inequality is entrenched through the generations, wealthy parents get to pass their wealth down tax free to the kids. They then enter the housing market high on the parents supply, outpricing poorer kids.
Tax the dead, its the living that need a break.
I am not in that bracket, far from it.
Parents (me, my wife) work bloody hard for 40 years to provide for their kids. I want to leave my kids something they can build their life from, from my hard work.
Why is hard work, ambition, hard work, be better than your parents, somehow seen to weathly and the state needs to take more to be penalised??
You should always strive and encourage your kids to better than you were.
