In order to have a true meritocracy, we should abolish inheritance. Everyone starts from scratch, all the extra cash gets reabsorbed into state schools, social care and the NHS. No one gets a leg up for being lucky - we're all lucky.

@anon_opin

if there were no inheritance my sweetie (who just inherited her mother’s house) an I would both be living on the streets.

so, no. bad idea.

@howlinhobbit @anon_opin But inheritance has been one of the main drivers of ever higher housing prices, so if there were no inheritance you probably would've been able to buy a house without it.
