Thats because those on minimum wage pay no income tax and get a raft of benefits. Its still these people I hear day in day out whinging about their bills. People earning considerably more are funding those on minimum wage and get shafted left right and center and actually have a genuine reason to complain. 

 

Well the feelings mutual, you seem to fall into the latter as well. Your barely concealed jealousy of your in-laws is quite unbecoming. 

People in full time work earning the minimum wage do pay income tax, you are correct that lots, not all of them get benefits.

 

It needs putting an end to, companies making huge profits are paying minimum wage and us tax payers make up the difference.

Minimum wage and full time will see that person pay £1500 a year in Income Tax. The vast majority if not all will have that topped up with a raft of benefits that will outweigh any token tax paid.

And what are these raft of benefits you seem to presume they all claim?.

 

Or are you hinting the feckless baby breeding types ?. Which I definitely agree should be limited to two kids, any more and it's no more additional benefits.

Yes, but there are many on minimum wage who don't get benefits. A single person with no children would get no benefits which they would have to make up by doing overtime, which means they would pay more tax.

 

The fact still remains, companies are making huge profits and we are paying for it.

Yup. Add to this the rise in 'zero hour' contracts and the gig economy- the employment figures look great, but in reality three part time jobs have replaced one full time, with benefits making up the rest.

Not just the energy companies ripping us off at the moment. A lot of these deserve jail time in my opinion
