Do you think the government should tax private school fees?

      Private schools don’t because special needs kids are not profitable. They cost a lot to support. Much better to let the state deal with that.

        Of course. It’s just hard to be sympathetic with people who complain about losing privileged access to something that is already denied to the vast majority of others through no fault of their own. What people deserve shouldn’t be based on how much money their parents have. And don’t forget that the reason most rich people are rich is because they successfully exploit the labour of others. Resources get automatically redistributed upwards in our economy. The wonky thing about this Labour policy though is that it looks like it punishes the ‘poorer’ rich people most.
