I'm not saying that Genuine Disabled people feel guilty Jaysay, but they do feel...and indeed there's increasing evidence to suggest they ARE being persecuted & victimised because the constant bad press they receive, which is totally out of proportion to the magnitude of the problem. Its surprising how many people actually believe the garbage that's written in the press these days...but they do. No one doubts that there are people manipulating the benefits system, but i'm sure they could be targeted in a better & more efficient way, than to constantly brow beat the public into believing that the vast majority on benefits are work shy scroungers!
We all know that Labour made many mistakes, but i still believe that even though some of the money they spent has gone into the wrong hands, there was still a geniune attempt to help the poorer people & impoverished areas. That's surely a more laudable approach than to pamper to the elite & pussyfoot around tax avoidance which is a far bigger slice of the "fraud cake" than benefit fraud is. Most of the wasted benefit money is actually by Government error rather than actual fraud, but Government & sympathetic media doesn't like to highlight that.
Why don't we see the same level of publicity and anger from Government & Media over Tax Evasion when it costs us so much more, its just double standards & is basically saying crime committed by the wealthy is acceptable.
Tax evasion costs Treasury 15 times more than benefit fraud - Citywire Money
