Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
The Lib Dem candidate is a complete dickwad. Lives on the same street as us, blanks us every time we pass. Never even replies to a "hello", scowls at Sprocket. Damned if she's getting my vote, but our Tory MP voted for Brexit in the commons when her constituents voted overwhelmingly to remain, so she clearly can't be trusted to represent the seat.
There should be a "none of the above, throw them all in a pit with tigers" option.
Most tax cheats are working-class people not declaring their takings: taxi drivers (I know one who pays £8 a year tax, his wife does ironing and does not declare it, they own a 4 bed detached house in a nice Cheshire town). plumbers, builders, you name it
how much tax and tax credits do you think are lost to this kind of fraud?
or are people doing less prestigious jobs able to be tax cheats without adverse comment?
So a plumber taking £65k cash in hand in 2015, in the top 6% of earners, declaring £20k and getting tax credits, is a hero?
People whining about all the knee jerk stuff you've regurgitated (since they are clearly not your own ideas) need to take a look around them at how incredibly privileged anyone living in the UK really is, and stop complaining about how much icing on the cake there is at present
Let's test your assertions:
Do you read the Canary, by any chance?

Benefit overpayments:
the NAO said £4.6bn had been overpaid to claimants in the 2013/2014 tax year
deliberate and illegal evasion .... was deemed to account for £4.4bn of the lost duties
so clearly more money is lost on benefits than to tax evasion
I return to my point about plumbers

James Parkinson ... After leaving school at 16, He has just completed a three-year apprenticeship with Pimlico Plumbers and has been out on his own for the past six months. Parkinson reckons he earns between £1,200 and £1,800 a week, “which is crazy for a 21-year-old,” he says. “You could earn more than that if you really wanted to.”
Now, I have this gut feeling that there are probably 100 times as many plumbers as Bankers on £1m a year
Therefore taxing plumbers properly would actually capture more revenue for the government to spend on us all than chasing "the few"
Given the massively larger number of people preparing to vote conservative, it would be more apt if May were using it as her slogan
What the fuck does that mean is this a Diane Abbott number crunching excercise?
What wealth does he believe people can claim back and can I make my claim asap Andy get a breakdown of how much I can claim if I vote for weird beard.
Is he aware that some better off folks have been voting labour, and some less well off people vote tory?
Indeed. A sad state of affairs - one party wants to legalise fox hunting (what fucking good does that do?) and has no idea how to negotiate through anything (a kinda big deal, what with brexit) and the other has Diane Abbott.

Is this relevant to "tax cheats" though?
