Vince Cable calls for mansion tax in next Budget - Telegraph

Why only on homes worth over £2m? Homes are alot easier to value and tax than earnings. And it might let houses come down to a value where young people can afford them. And then people might invest in companies rather than houses.

Fooking focus on cutting business red tape, Corp Tax (!), business rates, employer NICs and STFU about things that do not concern your job in the least!

The difference being that Council Tax has a maximum rate, meaning people in £10m houses pay the same as those with a lowly £1m flat in Wandsworth.
