You always speak sense Herts, and I think I get your point. I do think though that once money is ‘earned’ then you should be entitled to do with it as you see fit…. it’s a freedom, it should be yours to give to kids/charity/govt. As I said, my preference would be for increasing the tax burden for the individual and big business…….. less complication and more transparency, but I’m no accountant!
The ridiculous property differentials throughout the uk and resultant windfalls for some do drive a lot of this for the ‘wee guy’.
