"You are the one who cannot articulate a single good reason why a worker who buys an expensive home (the only home they own and the one they actually live in) should automatically pay more tax because property is worth more."
You are asking me to justify the Council Tax, which is a tax on homes somewhat proportional to their value. . I reject your challenge. I have no interest in arguing whether a property tax is better or worse than a tax on salt, or tea, or windows, or gold bars. Nobody on here wants to do that.
I am sorry you have not yet grasped my point that we have a tax on houses, and that in most cases, the amount of tax levied is to some extent proportional to the vskue of the home. For most of us, the person with the more expensive house pays more tax than his neighbour with a less expensive house.
However, the Council Tax system has been designed so that this principle is not applied to people with the most expensive houses. They do not pay any more tax even if their house is ten or a hundred times more valuable than their neighbours house that is also in the top band.
If we have a tax on homes (which we do) and if the amount of tax is in most cases, somewhat proportional to the value of the home (which it is), then I see no reason why the residents of multi-billion pound homes should not pay more than the residents of homes that are only worth a milloon or so.
Glad to be able to help you.
