It absolutely does. Your entire argument is that there's no point paying it because the really really rich dont pay it either. They also find workarounds around CGT and other forms of tax too. So then what's the point of any tax? Bloody queen isn't paying NI or CGT, that's for sure.That in no way logically follows. The logic is that tax should be fair. Inheritance tax isn't fair because the fair parts of it are covered by CGT, which why it has been abolished in so many countries like Australia and Canada.
And I only ever see the right arguing against abolishing it despite it seemingly be a more lefty thing. Possibly as a red herring to help them pretend they care about fairness. Maybe.
Yet most of the left wing posters on this thread, including myself, including some who will either be paying it themselves or who's kids will be paying it, are for it? And it was a liberal PM in Australia that abolished it isn't it? When did they become left wing?
