Benefit Cheat or a Tax Cheat... Who is worse?

well what pays for the NHS etc.. benefits cheats out of them 2.... but tax ones are as bad, including them fat cats who earn LOADS of money and thru loop holes pay less tax than their cleaners who are on the minimum wage..

I believe that if the benefit system were fairer we would have less cheats, my daughter in law is currently trying to live on £60 per week for her and her daughter, out of that she has to pay rent, heat her home, feed and clothe herself and her baby, not easy to do on that income

A benefit cheat is worst, but remember someone who works and is not paying tax is probaly claiming benefit too so.

I have worked all my life and currently pay around £414 per month in Income Tax and £218 in National Insurance. I think it is appalling to assume that most people claiming benefits are cheats. I simply don't believe it. I think the tax evading hoi polloi are the real villains in the UK. I work in one of the most disadvantaged communities in the UK, with vulnerable people and I have yet to meet a benefit cheat. I have also yet to meet a person on benefits, who isn't living on the breadline. Put the blame where it really lies and don't use Tory rhetoric to beat up working class people who are out of work or living on disability benefits. I'll thank you for your thumbs down in advance.

benefit as it destroys infrastructure as well as wasting government money

I'd say tax cheats, the average "benefit cheat" as you put it only does it to get by in life im not saying it's right but this is fact. Tax cheats do it for greed there is a massive difference !! :)

They are both stealing money from HMG. If you think it's your money, have a look at whose picture is on it. Tax cheats only get a better press than benefits cheats because there are more of them. I don't know where you've got your ideas about income tax. It's been around since 1799. Take a look at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/history/

I would say a benefit cheat is worse. I mean they're taking advantage of a position they aren't really in. So benefit money is like to help out people who aren't as fortunate as those who get benefits. Plus, they haven't done as much to earn their money... A tax cheat is just as bad in some ways though because...well tax...you gotta do it haven't you. No one should try to dodge it! It's just one of those things!

Well they are both pretty bad but I think benefit cheats are worse as they are not contributing anything to society and are laughing at the rest of us who fund their lifestyles with our taxes.
