We cannot afford Labour’s £31 billion tax credit monster. Our welfare system must link rights to personal responsibility

For many people thanks to the tax credit monster their standard of living doesnt depend on working harder but on having more children for tax credits.Get a child on DLA as well and your raking it in.Many at work (on good wages) refuse overtime because they lose tax credits,many went on job share as they got more tax credits and about the same as the person next to them working full time.The girl in the local chippie working 16 hours takes home £539 a week while the engineer working 48 hours who goes in gets £423 wages. Of course the girl lives with a man who works but he is not down as living with her.Big business pays minimum wage as tax credits top them up,so people not getting them lose out.The only answer is to scrap them under universal credit,or replace child tax credit with a family credit that doesnt increase for more children.Everyone i know who get it (a lot) are all in one way or another defrauding it,most have for years and years,nobody ever gets caught.Just scrap it.
