There are many "manifest fact[s]" that aren't quite what they appear to be.
In the house you can accuse someone of being "economical with the truth" but mustn't dare call them a "liar". It would remain a "manifest fact" that you haven't actually called that person a liar, but everyone knows...
So in your opinion tax credits do not subsidise low paying employers who still turn a healthy profit for their shareholders?
I suppose next you'll be saying the huge housing benefit payouts in no way subsidise the second mortgage or thriving business of the private landlord/landlady :rolleyes:
