It also highlights what a stupid legal system we have. Why is a crime any different for people depending on their income ? Is it not the same crime. Would you get 10 years for murder if you are on benefits and life if you are fully employed. Maybe it might be the other way round, you get life if you are on benefits and less if you are employed because the government needs you back paying tax as soon as possible. A crime is a crime and the punishment should be the same regardless of who it is.
