Ok here's a suggestion, let's abolish income tax completely!
On the face of it a fatuous suggestion but maybe not so stupid. We could then sack the army of civil servants who produce nothing. Boatloads of cash pumped into the economy and people having more incentive to work!
Suggestion no 2:- Pay all people between 18 and 65 years £10,000 per annum (from the government coffers) and then completely abolish the benefits system (ok maybe special cases such as physically impaired etc) What folks do with the money is entirely up to them and if they earn more from a job or business they still get the money.
By completely abolishing the benefits system we don't need an army of civil servants administering the system or the thought police checking up on those fiddling the system.
Nobody would be able to complain they didn't have basic subsistence to survive. The £10 k per year would be index linked.
