Recent revelations indicate that a mere 350 families in the UK hold immense wealth, prompting members of the Patriotic Millionaires group to advocate for a wealth tax that could fund the nation's healthcare costs multiple times over. Prominent figures like Julia Davies highlight the need to focus on significant national problems rather than the concerns of the wealthy, emphasizing the concentration of wealth at the top as a critical issue.
Members of the Patriotic Millionaires have urged for a long overdue wealth tax to invest in our much loved country, adding that the value of the top 350 people could cover the total cost of the UK's annual healthcare spend three times over.
