Your know what, fuck it, I am a benefit fraudster and proud of it, I am sick of this "do gooder" attitude of people thinking "you leech on society" It's about time that cash-in-hand workers like us took a stand.

benefit fraud can be ethical

I guess most of us here have done some cash in hand work whilst signed on at some point in our lives.

Generally that's because the work is so low paid that it's not viable otherwise.

People signing on as 100 different people and living a millionaire lifestyle in a mansion? Different story but very rarely happens.

Anyway, the government screws us out of money, so why shouldn't people take some of it back to lift themselves above the poverty line? In fact, seeing how the government use our money on bombing people and bailing out the rich, I would say the more money we screw out of the government, the better! Fuck 'em.

I'm ashamed to say I am gainfully employed at the moment, but to benefit fraudsters (apart from rich ones) everywhere, I say good on ya.
