Prince George and The Paupers- An Argument For Inheritance Tax

So another prince has come into the world. He's been born into a world of immense privilage and wealth. Many other babies were born on the same day in different circumstances and financial situations. This is the great lottery of life, by complete accident and luck you can be born a prince or a pauper.
In the words of every child "Its not fair". No it isnt.
Governments attempt to "level the playing field" and reduce the gap between rich and poor, so the rich dont keep getting richer and the poor getting poorer. One of these attempts is Inheritance Tax.
I tend to hear alot of people complaining about inheritance tax, about how you pay tax all your life and even when you die you still have to pay and how "its not fair!", obviously nobody likes to pay tax-including me-but is'nt it only right to attempt to bridge this gap from a societies point of view?, to redistribute wealth for a more equitable society?
Taxpayers will of course try to minimise their tax liabilities, as they are entitled to, but its important that inheritance tax exists and its intentions are understood from a bigger picture view rather than purely self interest.

"Are you serious about business? - then ditch the crap business cards."

I have had a new 6 page leaflet designed and it will be going to print soon. It got me thinking about the many business cards I see. I go to many networking events and see many types of business card. Amongst the most common are the cheap, generic ones you can get on the net. There are a number of suppliers but the best known one rhymes with Blistermint! They tend to be on flimsy paper, with a generic image. Do you know what this tells me about you?
It says I'm not serious about my business, that "you'll see how it goes"- that you have no long term plan-and you won't be here in a years time.
These days quality well designed business cards don't cost much, and are worth the investment. Thats right I said "investment" - not a cost. They represent you and leave a lasting impression of you and your business.
Get your logo designed, something that is unique to you. One of the reasons customers deal with small businesses is because of the unique and personal service they receive-this should be reflected in your marketing material.
Ask yourself if you were presented with a unique well designed quality business card or a cheap poor quality generic card- which are likely to keep and deal with?
Spend a few quid, its worth it, and show me you are SERIOUS!!
