It is good! It shifts the norm from the socialist idea that people don't have to care about anything, to the capitalist idea that people need to take responsibility for their own lives.

If this norm can become dominant, entrepreneurs will flourish in a generation and the UK will become an innovation center!

Jokes aside... that is complete nonsense. Governments and states exist for the needs of their inhabitants. If they fulfill no need, they should be abolished.

Therefore any services or initiatives is entirely upon the maffia gang called "the state" and no shadow rests on the individual.

Personally, I moved from sweden, due to the revolting and highly unethical society it is (when it comes to taxation).

Now I pay about 9%-14% tax total. I am much hapier and

wealthier! I believe more people should vote with their feet.

That would lead to less polarized societies, more homogeneous societies and happier individuals.

High tax societies would attract people who enjoy paying high taxes, and low tax societies would attract people who do not want government services, and who enjoy paying low taxes.

Everyone happy in the end and no conflict! =)

The problem with the UK is that nobody wants to pay taxes. They all believe there is this enormous body of '𝘙𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦' who can supposedly be squeezed to pay these taxes for them, but more importantly, that it's the government's place to provide everything for the population free of charge.
