The "debates"have been had time and again about fraudulent use of systems..which does happen but it is also a fact that a) many thousands of entitled benefits are not claimed & b) many wealthy people play the tax system too to 'avoid' paying as much as they could &/or illegally withold tax. Both are equally wrong.
