Civil servants - needed to keep government working, although we could do with less of them.
Tax cuts - can certainly stimulate the economy, do you mean tax dodgers?
Social security - a welfare net is needed to help people back up, there is some fat here, but it is much harder to identify and cut out than you claim.
Health - well we need a health system, otherwise we die and we can't produce anything from 6 feet under. Focus needs to be on prevention not late cures, but that means more civil servants and nannying, you can't win on this one!
Civil servants are generally parasitic. They produce nothing that we can consume, sell or that keeps us alive or keeps us happy. Civil servants are alike bankers. A small number of bankers lubricates the economy, while a large number of very wealthy bankers (or civil servants) are like a tumor growing on the back of UK PLC.
Tax cuts merely stimulate more imports from China, which makes the Chinese richer and us poorer. Until we start producing something from factories (remember those?), tax cuts actually hurt our economy.
Social security simply makes people lazy. The Poles are hard workers because they do not have a safety-net, whereas we have entire cities that live on the government teat and do naff-all for the country.
Health care. Sad to say, but very little of our health service is about patching up productive workers and sending them back to work. Most of it is employed in treating the permanently sick (unemployed scroungers who get more money by playing sick) or the retired. It might sound heartless to reduce health expenditure, but a country can only treat what it can afford - go to a third world country, and see what their health systems are like. A failing economy naturally means a reduction in health expenditure.

Sure, anyone who is working class is automatically thick!
No. only the ones who cut their own wages and made themselves unemployed, by repeatedly voting for New Labour.
