Yes
Because poor people don't earn enough to pay tax, so they're not really avoiding anything.
What the fuck is a squeezed middle?

Poor people pay tax all the time VIA V.A.T
And if you're earning over 8 grand a year then your paying income tax too.
[edit]
And what about the majority who aren't poor but not rich?
Ok i've read the story again can't find a mention of a squeezed middle.

The squeezed middle is sort of the hole in my argument
I think they're basically people who earn enough to keep them out of benefits and on the income tax register, but aren't sufficiently rich to ignore the little costs and dance round the big ones.
