On seeing the DM headline I double checked the date to see if it was 1 April, as only a fool would now vote Lib Dem. They wrongly assume that only the rich have such assets. What about the people who have worked all their life on a modest income and instead of spending any surplus income on frivolities, spent it on items to enhance their home and their selves. Good quality furniture and fittings and good quality fashion accessories. Then in retirement they have all they need for a comfortable life together with a reasonable pension and their home is now mortgage free.
Then comes the Lib Dems and bring these retired persons into a wealth tax bracket, they forget when that they will not just be taxing the rich, but those who have invested for their retirement.
Why not go to full on Utopia, all earned money to go to the Government who provide each person a living allowance. No special benefits are required, so no benefit fraud, no illegals as need to be registered to live.
Now they want to tax jewellery: New Lib Dem wealth plan to target ALL asset
