I shall not be rushing to work for sub benefit rewards.!
Don’t you think that those who do work at or near minimum wage appreciate funding your benefits?
How much better off would you need to be to start “rushing”?
Raising the income tax threshold to £12k would get most low paid to “living wage” and reduce the merry-go-round of taxing people to give it back in benefits.
Income tax is a necessary evil to fund essential parts of society, but it is still the government taking “earned” money away from the people. Taxing the low paid is pointless if you rather expensively give it back via benefits or tax credits
