Emeritus Prof Christopher May on Nostr: The danger off drawing conclusions from polling; the example of the #inheritancetax ...
The danger off drawing conclusions from polling;
the example of the #inheritancetax debate.
A simple Q. produces one sort of response, a more nuanced Q. something a little different;
it comes down to whether the Q. is framed as a general issue of being able to pass on wealth to the following generation tax-free, or accepting that it will be taxed & asking by how much;
the former makes it seem people do not want #IHT, but the latter reveals a desire for fairness & taxation of inheritance.
