Well said Redken1,
it's widely acknowledged and beyond argument that more benefits are paid to people IN work and claiming than to people out of work and claiming.
There has to be something drastically wrong with a system where an employee's wages, like you say, employed by some of the richest international companys in the world are allowed to get away with not only government subsidised wages in the way of benefits but also massive tax avoidance, the rot goes from bottom to top and as always, those at the bottom are far more likely to be shafted than those at the top, it's always been that way and I can't ever see it changing.
