If a couple have four kids and are just making ends meet from their employment and THEN the son of the 17th Baronet of Ballentaylor (aka George Osborne) reduces your net income I have a lot of sympathy.

However something has to be done to pay for those 50 something's inheriting million pound houses from their parents to ensure they pay no tax, so targeting working families with more than two kids is one way, as the parents can hardly walk away from their offspring.

You can't beat a bit of poverty porn to grab people's attention and set off the moralising. Easily detracts from the inequality and the increasing gap between the rich and poor, much of which we are born into, which is really what differentiates us.

Pity none of the men seem to have lowered their sperm count with 'tight shorts'....

To be fair the issue is if you are offered things like Child Benefit, like we were, as standard some people make a calculation on how many kids they can afford.

We lost Child Benefit a few years ago and so be it, not a great issue, however others might factor that in to how many kids they can afford to have so to speak.

I was sat in a maternity ward & at the next bed the teenagers family, just 2 hours after the newborns arrival, spent 30 minutes talking about benefits...it was both sad & unbelievable at the same time that the joy of birth was forgotten in a pathetic numbers discussion

Nicely timed piece to keep the poor in-fighting to distract them from the tax avoidance of the rich and corporations, and to distract from the recent 'tax cuts for the rich, benefits cuts for the poor' budget.

What a nasty misogynistic thread that hates the poor

Quite. Blatantly planted Tory propoganda to reinforce support for the latest rounds of benefit cuts. Same as it ever was. There's always going to be some poor thick untermensch right at the bottom of the shitpile that The Nasty Party select for holding up to the hatred and ridicule of the 'HardWorkingTaxPayer' as a representative of the target demographic of recipients of the cuts.

It's all so obvious and yet WE fall for it every single time?

The same story.
The same tabloid outrage.
The same phone-in finger pointing.
The same mock outrage

Do you remember that week when big business tax avoidance was popular:-

1. Amazon
Online retailer Amazon was accused of using Luxembourg as a location to dramatically reduce their tax obligations in the UK. It was found that the company paid just £1.8m in corporation tax in 2011, despite its £3.35bn UK sales

2. Starbucks
Coffee giant Starbucks did not pay any UK corporation tax in 2011, despite making £380m that year.

3. Facebook
Social media company Facebook were found not to have paid any UK corporation tax in the 2012 fiscal year, despite its UK operation reporting a 70 per cent increase in income from the previous year. Figures show Facebook only paid £1m in UK corporation tax since 2007, despite making half a billion pounds in revenue in Britain.

4. Google
There was public outrage after it was found that Google had only paid £6m in UK corporation tax in 2011, despite raking in annual profit levels of £2.5bn in Britain.

5. Apple
Apple was found to have only paid a corporation tax rate of 1.9 per cent outside North America.

6. eBay
Online trading giant eBay have also been accused of avoiding paying corporation tax in the UK and Germany. It was found that eBay paid just little over $1m in tax, despite their sales of over £800m in the UK.

Every child in the UK could eat caviar and wear gold nappies if these 6 companies paid their way.

Ok, point taken, but does that make it ok for people to scam/bend/distort etc etc the system? probably not, also system scammers are costing all of us a massive fortune, and quite honestly, I for one, don't see why I (and my wife) should work our guts out, earn less than some of these scammers do.

At present I am working in a job that gives me close contact with people who are all mainly in the system, many of them are nothing but scroungers they are working but not paying tax etc, the local council know but wont do anything about it, they give in to them!! if you experienced what I see on a daily basis, it is sickening! many of these people work very hard at screwing the system, I see it first hand.
