I think we should abolish the welfare-state.If we did a small number of people would struggle initially.These people could be helped by private charities.

The Welfare-state has no moral basis whatsoever: Why?Because the money to support these institutions has been extorted from the taxpayer.In other words, if people really believed in the NHS, why does the government force them to pay for it?
chris abolishing the welfare state is not the answer, controlling it properly is.
