i also support flat rate of tax, as well as withdrawal / reform of the welfare state to a few simple areas:
* Enforced / regulated health insurance w/ privately run health institutions - only A&E should be publicly funded
* Something to encourage people to take control of their own existence.. perhaps a tiered reduction in benefits over 10 years? maybe longer... but it needs to be in ALL areas. Job Seekers, Child Benefit, Housing etc.. etc..
flat rate of tax though, although lovely for people already earning over the 20% threshold (where it should probably be set) is an absolutely horrific prospect for those earning below it... a very tough sell!
