If you've been wondering about the claim put about by Nigel Farage & the Right that the majority in the UK receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes.... you will enjoy Emma Monk's detailed take...

@nprofile1q... I think anyone who has had open heart surgery or complex cancer treatment has likely had medical care worth more in financial terms than they've paid in a lifetime of taxes.

Which is as it should be. It's literally why we have taxes, charged (hopefully) fairly to pay for the benefit those in need. It's not a bank account where we individually have to pay out for the things we individually need.
