Solicitors and GPs aren’t necessarily the UK’s wealthy. Suggested wealth taxes by campaigners are targeted at those with assets over £10 million (i.e multimillionaires and billionaires). Not saying this tax won’t raise money, but I’m not sure why whenever taxes are raised it seems to more often be targeted at the workers and not the wealthy.

Trade and wealth tax myth-busting

Coincidentally read this article on the topic today. Thought it was interesting that it’s already been successfully implemented in Norway. I also read elsewhere that only about 30 of the >200,000 millionaires/billionaires in Norway left after the introduction of the tax.
