Surely you know that "I want one" includes for the have-nots "if I can't have one, then at least tax the bustards".
It's akin to VAT on private schools; watch that backfire.

I know no such thing - all you’ve done is throw in another lazy trope. Nobody’s talking about rinsing rich people so they’re not rich any more. And VAT on school fees is the very least they should be doing. Without clear and specific evidence of charitable purpose, private schools should be losing their charity registrations as well. No organisation charging customers £30 a year for its services is a charity unless it can explicitly prove otherwise. And that proof needs to be much more convincing than a small handful of bursaries for carefully-screened individuals.
Built-in tax dodges for those with the least reason to be dodging tax in the first place have got to stop.
