Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

Benefit fraud and worldwide corruption/tax evasion is exactly the same thing though. Just at the opposite ends of the financial spectrum. But if you swapped those committing benefit fraud with those committing worldwide corruption and tax evasion nothing would change because both groups of people are exactly the same. Both need to be tackled. Benefit fraud is less in terms of outright amounts but I would argue it is psychologically more damaging to law abiding folk because they are more exposed to it and feel more aggreived about it. This is then exploited by those committing the high end financial crimes because it takes the heat off them. So from that perspective, benefit fraud is of serious concern not simply because it's immoral but because it helps those committing the much more destructive but simultaneously more hidden financial crimes.

This I think is what the left leaning fail to understand properly and it's why Trump et al are able to run rings round them.
