"Not paying tax is much worse than stealing from your children"

[LanaorAna1]

Do you agree? I'm not sure I can - remark made by old dear I know.

Bourdic Indeed, just noticed the other thread too.

. just imagine 'remark made by woman/ black person/ person in wheelchair etc etc'

Exactly. What is the relevance of age here? Or sex?

Other than to devalue the person who made the statement?

Do you win extra arsehole points if you manage to ensure that you won't have to pay tax and 'steal' from your children in one fell swoop? If so, my arsehole father probably wins for the number of times he deliberately got himself sacked just so that he wouldn't have to pay maintenance. He can probably have additional points for committing benefit fraud while he was at it (claiming to live with his parents rather than his girlfriend because presumably that allowed him to get JSA when he hadn't paid enough NI contributions).
