Should Corbyn set it at a rate designed merely to redistribute wealth
or
should a more progressive level of taxation be applied to the robber
baron
class hoardings, coupled with the introduction of rent control
legislation, in order to burst the massively over-inflated housing
bubble
and collapse house prices back to nearer the true value of a pile of
bricks?

Um, let me think?

NO

Hed do better to reform IHT.


Well, abolish IHT, introduce LVT . . .

Parents whose offspring have shown they are prepared to work etc, and
have
actually established themselves- bought a property etc should be
subject 0
IHT when passing to children. Even the, effective, £1m or so currently
in
place isnt really high enough, it is easy to exceed that.
(Fortunately,
there are legal ways to avoid IHT even if you have more the £1m) £1m
per
child would be more reasonable.

Conversely, if the off spring have obviously been sitting around
waiting
for another hand out, moaning about how tough life is etc, tax it at
100%
and give it to the NHS.

You have a very cynical view of people. Very, very, few people 'sit
around waiting for hand-outs' out of choice.

Thats bull****. Plenty wont do some jobs like fruit
picking and dealing with fat bergs in sewers and
choose to put their hands out for the dole instead.

Well, that's nonsense. It's not 'won't', it's 'can't'.

Thats bull**** with the cant with fruit picking and pruning etc.

And that is in large part due to housing . . .

Even sillier than you usually manage and thats saying something.

Mate of mine who ended up here used to drive a small mini bus
that was used to pick up the fruit pickers that did the work on his
dads operation in the 50s.

And plenty more refuse to move to where the work is too.

No true socialist should complain at that. Reward the hard working, the
first case, help the masses and dont reward the lazy in the second
case.Of course, those who fall into the second group- remember you need
to have bought a property- will scream it is unfair.

It's now pretty well established that the combination of property
ownership and inheritance is going to polarise the UK in some quite
nasty ways over the next 30 years.

That hasnt been established at all, just claimed, a different matter
entirely.


Claimed and evidenced.

Bull**** with the evidenced.

Have a look at the work of Danny Dorling for example.

Have a look at what actually happens over the next 30 years.,

I had the 'opportunity' to take in some daytime TV for a couple of weeks
recently. Apart from the obviously fleecing nature of the corporations
behind it all, quite nice to see the variety of equity release products
being pushed.

If the government isn't going to do anything, spend it or give it away
while you can.

Even sillier than you usually manage and thats saying something.

Indeed.
