Built-in tax dodges for those with the least reason to be dodging tax in the first place have got to stop.

Wrong. IHT does not rinse rich people. It rinses will beneficiaries at the lowest end of the IHT wealth scale. Once again it's the ordinary folk who pay through government taxation by stealth.

Why are the detractors of my view not making the distinction between rich and ordinary?
