Fastest ever Goverment petition

Wrong! She will have a deposit for her first house from funds being invested which is not easy to do, What i am putting aside is what many would blow on alcohol and fags each month but of course - that?s their choice.

If one of my daughters friends inherits a million pound house - good for her as she would be very lucky. That parent must likely has run themselves ragged with specialist skills hence the asset.

If someone inherits 5 houses then why should they feel guilty if someone can?t afford one? That?s life.

Bit like saying Jed Wallace should not be allowed to earn 25K plus a week for being past it when someone in Asda does not get ?15 per hour - but they work hard. Again that?s life!

Good luck to anyone who has good fortune especially the one who won the Euromillions 178 million last night. Anyone who bought a ticket would gladly swap places.

I'm not questioning capitalism Al. I get that skills are paid based on scarcity and it's a market for those skills. It's the fairest and simplest way of running a society. But inheritance is based on nothing, with the best off being the most privileged rather than those that have unique skills or knowledge, or indeed hard workers.

Al, you and I both know anyone who can have their deposit paid for their first house is privileged. I don't know what point you're making about fags and alcohol, you write on here about all the holidays you have so you spend your money differently. You've not exactly had to have beans on toast every night to afford to pay your daughters house deposit.

The point isn't that people should feel guilty or doing anything different. The point is that it's an unfair system, privileged for some not for others and the system should change. If you get something, you pay tax on it. There's no such thing as a good taxed once as tax is based on the person not the product.
