No party who stated they wanted to end the welfare state would be electable in this country so in my view your views lack any sense of reality.

Taxation is not money stolen from you, it provides essentiall services such as health and education without which your quality of life would be severly affected, thousands of people simply cannot afford private health and education ,how would you make such a thing affordable, a couple in there 80s I know through church have to pay a massive ammount in for private health care each month but the man of 84 could not have an operation recently because of the cost, the NHS provided it and he has a new lease of life. Would you have denyed that man the chance to have this?

What about those who cannot care for themselves, the disabled, the impoverished, the elderly?

Your suggestions would turn this country into a new Zimbabwe.
