WFTC is paid to people who work and dont work and is both a generous child benefit and a subsidy to employers who wont pay a working wage.

What probably should happen to solve 3 issues is to scrap WFTC completely and signficantly increase the min wage.

it would do 3 things.

1 - increase the gap between unemployment employment in income levels.
2 - decrease poverty for those working including the childless who are forgotten about.
3 - decrease the welfare bill.

of course there would be a very unhappy part of society having to pay higher wages and less to owners/shareholders, businesses.

Even someone getting the absolute most on IB with DLA which would be this doesnt exceed 26k income and they are below 20k as well, they dont even come close to 26k.

Long term IB
max age additions
high rate DLA
can i point out that WFTC does not exist anymore and hasn't existed since 2003 .I think you need to look at the history of such benefits from when they where introduced by Thatcher up to the present day including what they replaced before continuing with your ramblings

and i'm still waiting for you to show me where i "attacked" disabled people
