The Labour Government

[Churchlawtonblue]

The 4% is the current figure. The 7% is the 'nearly doubling".

The average home price is approx £290k.

Inheritance tax, if you're passing to kids/grandkids is £500k. That's the tax free bit too. Anyone inheriting £500k+ is also now one of the top few % richest people, so can afford to pay the tax.

It's a tax that is only paid by the wealthiest.

On assets they have already paid tax on.

The twats who don't willingly work will be fine ...........druggies, scrotes, lazy cunts, free everything for you.


Something isn't right about that.

It's called Socialism isn't it?

your state pension is next

That may be true to a degree. There is no doubt that the ability for a diminishing working population to pay the pensions of an increasing elderly population is going to be a real challenge. If a universal pension is to continue as it is there will come a time when it will be unsustainable. Not an opinion, just a mathematical fact.

dunno.............it's called a cunts trick in my world

That's the worry... They call it an "allowance" so I assume that it will become means tested at some point under this government so they can give away the share that hard working people will lose because they had the means (or audacity) to create private pension pots for themselves...

I can see that causing some major unrest...

My OAP isn't due for another 6 years so I doubt I'll ever see it....

Even the most right wing of governments wouldn't plan on means testing the main state pension.

It's an absolutely crazy idea that seems to have been floated mostly as a scare tactic in the right wing press.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

You're making a huge assumption that the asset was paid for in earned income. It's paid on death.

You can't take it with you.

Yep I am, as most of the people I know who own a house worked hard and paid tax so they could buy it!

You clearly see that as something to be taken advantage of by the state. That's where we dissagree.

The tories were always going to be soundly beaten in the election..

That doesn't mean that you have to like what we got in their place....
