The question in my mind is how did this situation evolve, as someone who is interested in economics, I think it is firmly rooted in something that is called "The Free Market." |

Is that really the case, that a person can pay tax as well as receiving tax credits.? Incredible. |

Supporting every society in all generations are the peasants - they being generally the poorest & the most necessary of citizens - while the rich have to be ready to defend themselves against the slur of richness as if it were the worst of crimes. |

SheilaWestWilts - I accept that the bosses I make reference to may not be the majority, that said there are a lot of them - and well done to your OH and his colleagues, some of those who receive the large salaries and bonuses should take a lesson from them. |

These bosses are not the majority - there are numerous small and medium-sized businesses whose executives don't earn millions. My OH and his colleagues took a substantial pay cut a few years back, for a period of about a year, in order not to make any redundancies or reduce employees wages (they got a pay freeze). |

How did we end up with a situation in this country, where at one end of the wage ladder, the bosses of many organisations are being paid millions of pounds a year in wages and bonuses, while at the other end of the wage ladder, many of their employees wages are being subsidised by the taxpayer, because these employees are paid little more than the minimum wage. Several million low paid workers get their wages topped up with tax credits and help with housing costs - just to enable them to make ends meet :-S |
