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.

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.

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.

Moving house is vastly more expensive now than it was forty years ago,
thanks to the 'mansion' stamp duty now applying to most housing in
large towns and cities. It's also a lot more difficult if you have
school-age children.

Do the arithmetic: it's worth moving house for a well-paid job, it
isn't for anything less and particularly for around minimum wage, which
most jobs now are.

True enough.

Many in the expensive areas worked hard to ensure they could afford to
live in one of the expensive areas. Socialists expect it to be handed to

You mean that capitalists eschew inheritance of property? That's nice,
I suppose they donate it all then?

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

I had the 'opportunity' to take in some daytime TV for a couple of

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

Moving house is vastly more expensive now than it was forty years ago,


BULL**** when you are renting.


Only 36% rent, and about half of those are in social housing. You are
more likely to be 'workless' than in work if you own outright than
privately rent.

Workless: Mortgage 1.3%, own outright 13.1%, private rent 9.7%,
council/HA 26.7%

thanks to the 'mansion' stamp duty now applying to most housing in
large towns and cities.


None of that involved when you are renting.
It's also a lot more difficult if you have school-age children.


That's bull**** too. Same as forty years ago.
Do the arithmetic: it's worth moving house for a well-paid job, it
isn't for anything less and particularly for around minimum wage,
which most jobs now are.


That's bull**** too.


Transactions costs are notoriously high in the UK. Is there any
possibility of you providing an ounce of reasoning?

Well done, there are some out there that still appreciate that others

ROTFL

Do you think those who want to tear down 'the system' know or care
about
the difference?

They just want any easy life.


Everyone wants an easy life.


Not everyone does. Quite a few prefer a much
more interesting life working at a decent job.


But that *is* an easy life! It may be hard work, but it is much easier
than working in a factory or being on the dole.


Much easier for some getting a handout from the state and
spending your time doing what you prefer to do like fishing etc.

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.

**** all of those who choose not to work
own the property they are living in.

private rent 9.7%, council/HA 26.7%

Waffle. It doesnt cost that much to move when renting.

Thats flagrantly dishonest.

In your context, what does "effectively" mean?

It seems to mean "not at all, but I feel like saying so".

Lots and lots of people are millionaires if you include the values of
their property.


How else would you calculate it, Bill?

Investment fund manager?

It seems to mean "not at all, but I feel like saying so".
