Better to give than to be taxed
"The Government can help by altering the tax regime... to encourage those with millions to spare to give...'
'The government gets 40% to squander anyway'
'This country is a truly unfit one in which to raise a child.'
'...money given to Mr. Brown is simply be wasted on ideological projects.'
For what it's worth, a short while ago (about 10 minutes before the road petition issue exploded), I uploaded one advocating the creation of a Carbon Legacy as an alternative to donating the excess over the IHT limit to government-selected 'causes unknown'.
It seems an equitable way of answering all the negative issues (and points raised here) that are causing the current, divisive gridlock, from Mr. Hain's rather unilateral high-earning career targets to the 'scrap it all' approach of the Express campaign, neither of which seem likely to happen in anyone's lifetime, much less my kids.
Speaking of whom, the Carbon Legacy would be a way of knowing my inheritance would be going to ensure they and theirs have a better chance at a future as a direct consequence of my bequest, and not to support some politicians' index-linked, gold-plated pension funds.
Oddly, it has yet to be approved.
Maybe they have other things on their minds. Or don't like the logic of what I propose.
