Tax evasion

No wonder we can't afford to tackle climate change.

As a nation our corporations avoid paying £70 billion in tax.

We spend next to nothing trying to get it back and instead throw 624 times more chasing benefit fraud than we do our lost tax.

The wonderful website : http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/ has all the details.

But can anyone in the comments tell me why this is so?

Or can we simply assume the obvious - that public office is now simply a corporate rewards scheme for those with sufficient 'flexibility' in their integrity and morals.

Get into power and then pocket the rewards from corporate chums later.
