Isn't that the point, they are paying what the owe under the law?

Well, if you want to get technical then those few people on benefits who know how to play the system are also working within the law, doesn't stop you from hating them, doesn't it?

The main difference is that people on benefits need them to live, Tax Evaders do it out of greed and they have a bigger effect than a few people on benefits who know how to get what they need from the system.

You're comparing someone who needs benefits to live to people who are making your life worse through their own greed by withholding money they owe to the state.

It honestly astounds me how you or anyone else can defend this.

I refuse to live life in an apathetic daze, befuddled by reality TV, a banal press and the brainwashing that has left a lot of people to think immigrants and benefit claimants are the cause of all our ills.
