I would love to hear your plans for financing education, from sure
start through to the universities...



Indeed, financing the enforcement function as well because I'm
unconvinced that it's appropriate to be collecting taxes at gunpoint!


Taxes everywhere and at all times have been collected at gunpoint, or
swordpoint. I'd scrap all taxation on personal income and then fire
all the civil servants no longer needed to collect it.


So given that you've already stated that you wouldn't disband the
entirety of government, just the bits you don't like, how are you
planning on funding it? Taking MoD alone that's nearly 350000 people,

With indirect taxes and business taxes.
Collected, as now, at gunpoint.

about 200,000 uniformed and the rest civil service. I'll acknowledge
you could get rid of a chunk of the CS, probably about 25% without
impacting on capability delivery, but the rest need paid, equipped,
trained, fed and watered and that includes the CS currently on
operations. So how are you planning on doing it, given that the above
is content free.

Totally privatising the NHS would get rid of a milllion more govt jobs.

Ok, that's it. welcome to the killfile,, that's just outright stupidity.
Look at the fecking US health system and how it keeps people in extrme
poverty and allows treatment for the middle class only. In the words of the
philosopher.

You are the weakest link, goodbye!
