"Complexity... character-ises the entire benefits system, and the addition of tax credits, with different rules, merely makes the whole structure more opaque to its customers," he writes.

It truly is a mess now. I struggle to work out what is what, and I am quite good with figures! One of UKIPs main policies should be to streamline the whole tax system. Tax credits should be scrapped and with the savings some of the many stupid taxes we have now should be scrapped.

...confusion is exactly what socialists like Brown want. Nobody can properly understand how it's worked out or where the money is coming from but as long as they getting their benefits...who cares.

Such folk (and there are many of them) are suckered INTO phpbb_state 'dependancy' that only Labour can deliver.

Selfish fools.
