Rejected petition PEOPLE ON BENEFITS SHOULD ALSO PAY TAX

More details

The dishonest people on benefits claim thousands each year for free housing, free health treatment, free schooling, money in the bank from taxpayers. They get more than the lowly paid who work. They should pay tax like everyone who works. Even pensioners are paying tax if they have worked hard and saved hard.
