    Tax avoidance is legal.
    Ask how many on MSE have, for instance, an ISA.
    Tax evasion & benefit fraud are both illegal.
    There's a big difference.

    All those evading paying tax should get the full force of the law thrown at them as should benefit fraudsters.

    Theirs know diffirince bitwean benifit cheets and tax dojers in the wirld of the bankhatter sok puppit. He rites like vis to diskise himself like. :rotfl:

    people who claim benifits is legal , people who spend it on fags is legal , if thats the case whats the argument ?
    yes people who evade either paying tax or swindle the system should get the full force , the problem is , one half does the other half does not

    I do agree the wealthy are bloated with corruption, often so embedded and subbtle we don't really frame it as corruption.

    But the reason welfare concerns me more is the damage done to children living in households where no one ever works. These kids - millions of em, end up with severly stunted outlooks, a dimmed horizon.

    Endemic welfare slowly poisons and degrades society on many levels, for example it makes someone like me resent paying Tax because I see with my own eyes horrendus endemic welfare abuse. It certainly isn't a minoirty fringe.

    Also I cannot stand self pity where people get this sense they simply cannot work when others with far worse disability do work with dignity. A huge proportion of those on welfare are simply so wrapped up in thier own self pity that they've fallen for thier own charade.

    You can see this same dynamic in action by observing for example a PS worker with a leg in plaster. They typcially will have weeks off to recover and yet when I was in plaster I only had 2 days off. I detest this low level corruption.

    i myself hate paying tax because it goes to the greedy bankers to prop up there bonuses and pays the imberseal people in goverment to finance silly wars abroad that have nothing to do with us, iv paid my 30 years in to finance my state pension NI personaly im not bothered if i dont pay another penny either in tax or NI

    i dont see the differance between the benifit cheats or genuine benifit claimers compared to the wealthy tax avoidence cheats , only the tax avoidance wealthy cheats are rewarded for failure ,which i see as far bigger costly problem as to try and screw someone out of £100-£500 a month on benifits regardless of how they spend it etc

    Just because the rich paying little tax is wrong (imho), doesn't mean that choosing to live off the state is right. Both need to be addressed quickly, if this country is not to go bankrupt sooner rather than later.

    I do have an ISA :o. The "rich" whose tax loopholes need to be closed, in my opinion, are those who have a few hundred million salted away but want still more.
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.
