Byers also argued that the tax is unfair because the very wealthy tend to get advice on how to avoid paying it, but "this is not an option if your only asset of any real worth is the family home." Brown supporters quickly counterattacked, pointing out that inheritance tax brings in about $6 billion in revenue annually and depicting it as a levy on a small élite.
