Inheritance Tax should be vastly increased.
Millions of people are these days being 'left' houses in their 50s (eg) by millions of deceased 80s (eg). The recipients haven't EARNED that huge benefit (which is what Tax is all about). So now we're getting comfortably-off 50 year-olds wondering what to do with their £2-£300,00 pound house. And guess what? - they rent it out as holiday homes, thus causing a huge shortage of houses, pumping prices up to ridiculous amounts, which poorer people just can't afford (especially with the Mortgage Rates now chargeable).
The rich are laughing their b*llocks off and claiming their poor deceased parents 'worked damned hard' for that house. (Not as hard as most poorer people, mind.)
Tax has GOT to be raised somehow, from somewhere, so why not get it from 2nd home owners. Their FOLKS might have 'earned' it, but THEY haven't.
(Show me a Tory who agrees with me).
