Regarding price at DODGY TAX AVOIDERS, we have to factor in the extra tax that we are paying on something else every time we buy from DODGY TAX AVOIDERS because they, in effect, by not paying tax receive a subsidy from the tax payer on all their sales. Look on the extra that you pay someone else as the tax that would have to be levied by DODGY TAX AVOIDERS if their made their proper contribution to the society that they now sponge off.

You could say that DODGY TAX AVOIDERS are in the same situation as someone who elects to take the dole rather than work for a living. It's not illegal but it's not a particularly moral thing to do either. DODGY TAX AVOIDERS "avoiding" tax isn't illegal but ...
No. What DODGY TAX AVOIDERS is doing is so far worse to the point of being completely incomparable. If someone is on the dole, by far the greatest likelihood is that it is because they are unable to find work that allows them to pay their way. Yes, there are some who take the dole for reasons other than necessity, but they are vanishingly small in number to the point where the amount of legitimate social security benefits that are not claimed by people far outstrips that which is fraudulently or, even, immorally claimed.

Don't believe it?

I did deliberately say "someone who elects to take the dole" as I am fully aware that even if people want to work it isn't always possible to find it in the current climate.
