What's the problem with Inheritance Tax?

[QuickBrown]

Inheritance tax seems to be really unpopular among certain sections of society. Obviously people always object to any taxes, but it seems to me to be the absolute least worst tax, as the dead have no use for money.

Those who object to it or know others who do, can you explain a few things to me? Firstly is the the idea of your estate being taxed once you are dead that you object to? Or is it that you are due to inherit and this will reduce their estate? Or something else?
Also where do you stand politically on other inheritance, for example are you pro-aristicracy and inherited titles?
If you are worried about your own estate being reduced before your children get it, are you someone who has given a lot to your children financially in their adult years or do you expect them to make their own way in life?
Also if you have inherited significant sums, has this swayed your thinking?
I feel a bit out of step with other people's thinking here!

I pay my fair share of taxes. So does DH and so do all 3 of my DC.

Whatever changes are made, the impact en masse will be further away than we think, so Andy B isnt looking at swelling the coffers instantly now, he is playing the long game for money pouring in to be allocated.

As Mr B wasnt voted in, and appears to be against a general election for a PM not voted in- this is an about turn after his previous outspoken stance ( shock)
He has no right to meddle. The goverment is still corrupt.

Perhaps all MP wills should be published complete with tax efficiences from now on. After all, that money belongs to the state. And their tax returns from today. Im sure they all pay as much tax as possible.
