Fun fact - we already tax rich people. My stepdad has a £2000 Christmas bonus this year. Before tax. After tax it's £1200. He's not "rich" but he earns well so he pays 45% income tax. The more he earns, the more tax he has to pay.I'm not talking about corporation tax. Taxing rich people puts money back into the economy instead of them piling it into a bank in the Cayman islands.
Of course it's not true, the food and weather is important too. And the football and beer culture.That makes sense if you assume the only thing that brings tourists to the UK is the royal family. Kinda doubt that's true though.
We get a lot of Chinese tourists who are here precisely to see the Royal Family. The Chinese absolutely love history.
If Ronaldo lived in a Palace in London owned by his family for a thousand years, then I wouldn't give a fuck about him living in it.So? They'd come from around the world for a football game too. Should we give Ronaldo a few palaces too?
Sure, but you're not thinking like someone who has an interest in the Royal Family. The Queen would have been the one to see, if not her then Charles, William and Harry. But if you only see Princess Michael of Kent, that's still better than nothing. That's still a memory. People who are interested in British history would be more excited to see random Royals than you would.Surely that means the main family, not the cousins and random dukes and barons or whoever else is on the gravy train.
You mean give them an education from elite teachers who can earn more by not working for the state?Here's a better idea: give every kid a quality education whether their parents are rich or not.
Or should the state pay top dollar for teachers and then let a lucky small % of random kids have access to these elite teachers?
