Poor people are being punished for a crisis caused by the bankers

[Pete]

'It’s now a rite of passage for any aspiring political leader to state that he or she is keen to cut the welfare budget...In fact, it appears to be the easiest job in British politics.

So, even though benefit fraud itself is dwarfed thirtyfold by annual tax fraud by companies and individuals, headlines express more contempt for the shirker than the City’s creative accountants and financial experts who caused the economic crisis in the first place.'

Good article from Armando Iannucci. Poor people are being punished for a crisis caused by the bankers, and deepened by the tax dodging super-rich.
