Daily Mail: More than 11,000 households on benefits are as well off as higher rate taxpayers
Jonathan Isaby, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: ‘Many taxpayers struggling to make ends meet will find it incredibly unfair that some people are drawing more in benefits than they’ve ever actually earned themselves.
‘The welfare system needs to provide a safety net for the poorest and most vulnerable in society, but these figures demonstrate that the current system has got out of control and that the Government’s proposed benefits cap needs to be introduced as a matter of urgency.’
