Oh yes, of course, that's why we have such a *massive* 40% top tax rate with Cameron and his cronies (and UKIP!) wanting to give tax breaks which benefit(!) the most wealthy.
Meanwhile the actual figures for job seekers' benefits are much lower that the amount spent on State Pensions etc of which 0.7% (yes, that's 70 pence in every £100!) of those benefits is lost to fraud
Of course the Tories don't want you to know that, that's why their mates in the Daily Mail et al keep pushing this "blame the scroungers" message (who were *totally* to blame for the banking crisis and the 375 *billion* pounds of our money George Osborne has pumped into the financial sector!) and keep claiming they're trying to help "hard working people", not mentioning that most of the people they've got off benefits are actually either on Workfare schemes (work for nothing or we'll make you starve), Zero Hours contracts (we won't actually guarantee you'll *get* any work) or mnimum wage (which is not a *living* wage) all of which are good for massaging the figures and helping big companies increase their profits but not actually helping the poor bastards who are stuck at the bottom of the heap just trying to survive.
But, hey, Lewis only earns £15 million a year driving for Mercedes. Times are hard...
