Maybe, instead of paying so much in tax, the very rich could be incentivised to help their local community and young people who do not have a home.

When I was 16 I got a school holiday job at Minton's pottery factory in Staffordshire, packing plates. For a month's work, I was paid £44. Everything I now know about the birds and the bees, I learnt there.
