Could this be the reason why we have a lot of "feminine males"?

The issue of 'fiscal drag' (income tax thresholds not keeping up with average wage rises & thereby moving more people into higher tax brackets) would also seem to be having an effect on inheritance tax.... but here we might want to argue that unlike income tax where fiscal drag seems to be non-progressive (by requiring the lower, but still well paid, to pay more tax), any fiscal drag in IHT might be seen as a reasonable response to the UK's problem with wealth inequality?

Hmmm.... some leading supermarkets have come out in support of the National Farmers' Union demand that changes in inheritance tax as they effect farmers should be pause while the impact of implementation is assessed.

Now, the Q. is: is this good faith support, or a bit of distraction politics to lead farmers' supporters away from continuing problem with supermarkets domination of the food system & their aggressive treatment of their supplies?

Just asking....

We know that parents wealth is a key to their children's economic prospects, but it works in different ways:

for the aspirant but poor parents its about helping your children into better work, for the middle class its getting your children into better education than you got yourself... but for the richest in society, its just about the money; handing your children money ends up being the surest way of cementing their privileged position.

Let me tell the story of my “#math #pencil”.

My dad was a bit of a draftsman in his day. He was a builder and so he had some nice mechanical pencils and straight edges. At some point in high school he gave me one of his nice mechanical pencils. 0.5mm lead. Nice grip.

Throughout my high school career I used it in math class (and sciences like physics and chemistry) because it was nice and it was comfortable.

Fast forward to college and the same thing: I used it in all my math classes. It had become my “math pencil.” All my mathematical knowledge (sparse as it is) is in that pencil.

This is my middle boy’s first semester at #college and I bequeathed to him the math pencil as he packed for college. He may very well end up a math minor. I just got an update and he’s getting outstanding grades in math. Linear algebra final coming up on Tuesday.

It was just an ordinary pencil. But through sorta habit and happenstance, and some good luck I kept it 30 years to hand it down.

My own path to college wasn’t great. Pretty much whatever was in the back of my dad’s Buick when I went to college is all I carried from childhood to adulthood. (That’s another story) but the pencil is one of those things and it was great to pass it on.

''if the farmers had their way, they would be able to pass on their estates to their children, who could then flog it off and receive the entire thing tax-free, whereas if somebody had, for example, owned a very large house in London, which could be the case as an accident of fortune, then those children who inherit that will have seen the estate diminished by inheritance tax. So, it is privilege that the farmers are asking for"

My ancestors passed on a valuable heritage to me, AND they were settler colonialists. Both of these are true and I must reckon with both. That's much of what it means to be white in the USA. #ancestors #inheritance #settlercolonialism
