It should come as no suprise that when the government reduce what it is paying out, that those who receive the most lose the most and those that receive little are "remarkably unscathed"

I really haven't got a problem with the rich who pay what they should, and do in fact pay in far more than they get out. My problem is with the rich who lecture the rest of us about morality and charity whilst doing their utmost to avoid paying UK tax by, for example, moving to places like Monaco.
