I don't know enough about who-hasn't-paid-what or what the cuts to benefits are and what the impact of those are, but the article feels a bit like flame-bait to me by doing things like directly equating corporations not paying tax to people committing suicide. Surely if someone is fit for work (and so their benefits are cut), then they are fit for work even if we did have a benefits system overflowing with untold riches from Apple/Facebook/Alphabet? They'd still be fit to go to work regardless of tax revenue, surely?
Perhaps there is something deeper and there is research between tax revenue and suicide due to being found fit for work, but they didn't cite any research - anyone seen any?
