    You could ask what the individuals have done to justify the gains associated with personal property. Perhaps they could remove principal private residence relief on a gain on sale?

    Probably more than recipients of the money and the government.

    It's a tax.

    It pays for things like education, the NHS, police, and all those other things that many people take for granted.

    Tax has to be raised somehow. If you think the tax should be raised from a different source, or tax should be spent on different things, then vote accordingly in the next election.

    very very naiive if you really believe all taxes are earmarked and there isnt leakage in the system - see my list above.
