Rejected petition Phase in a cap on inherited wealth.

Let the people who get to the top be the ones who have genuinely worked hard and not be the ones who were priviledged in the first place. It isn't right that people inherit millions/billions whilst people are dying in the street with nothing.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure exactly what you would like to happen.

You could start a new petition explaining the level at which you think a cap should be set, and/or how you think this might be done (whether through taxation or other mechanisms).

Petitions need to contain a clear request for a specific action so that Government and Parliament know what you are asking them to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
