    One law for the rich and another for the poor. The poor are looked down on as being "scroungers" but the rich get away with murder and tax evasion, but at the end of the day, all the politicians are much the same..!!

    any decent human being would be. always picking on the poor amongst us, instead on getting the rich to part with their taxes in full . it seems to be its almost laughed off when a rich person fiddles his taxes, yet if someone poor fiddles an extra few quid out of the benefits system they are the worst of the worst. I don't condone either but there is no difference they are both defrauding the government out of its dues. I just wish they would be more even handed when dealing with both .

    Any rational person. Osborne justifies attacking those on benefits by saying that they should not get more than people working. In some ways this is true, however I would be happier if he would concentrate on trying to keep prices down and to allow people in work to get pay rises at least in line with inflation.

    Wages have been suppressed in the UK for years whereas benefits have to rise by inflation. It is a mental; situation that he allows those who work to be kept on wages which, when you take into account the constant rise in prices are worth less and less, it is not right to attack those on benefits it is right to incentivise those who work.

    Typical Tory though, he cares not one jot for those who are poor or on benefits, he will screw them to get back around £3 Billion, yet he will still sign off £11 Billion in foreign aid, most of which goes straight into the pockets of corrupt leaders around the world. Shameless.
