If they were born into it, then it was earned by someone, and if they chose to let it stay in their family, that's their prerogative. As for luck, if they beat the odds, they should get to keep it.

What do we do about disabled people?
What do we do about those who lose jobs through no fault of their own?

You'd have to look pretty hard to find someone who thinks we should let the disabled or people who lose their jobs stave. No-one here said that.

How could we run the NHS if higher earners weren't taxed more? Hows about these schools and such...we could hardly afford to do these things if everyone was taxed a flat 20%.

In any society you will have those who earn more than others, for a variety of reasons. Do you not think that its fair for those earning more to contribute more?

People who earn more do pay more tax - that's how percentages work.

Its hardly as if taxes only go to 'feckless scroungers on JSA who drink their 70 quid benefit money' or anything :S

Anyone who thinks that's where taxes go to is an idiot.
