From each according to their ability, to each according to their need
It may be necessary to modify this in the immediate situation to: From each according to their ability to each according to their work done
Socialism
See leading statement above. More enlightened socialism is what we need, we being the vast majority of the people. Government should be explaining the need for taxes not vainly trying to appease people and give them what the media tells them they want.
At the moment the people don't want socialism because they don't understand what it is.
Taxes
Taxes and services are on opposite sides of the equation. If you want lower taxes you must expect lower services. Governemnt should explain this simple message and explain where all the money raised in taxes goes.
I would cut back on troops abroad - bring them home and get them working to improve this country as part of their training. Every youth should have a gap year, not just the rich ones.
They should do national service, i.e. spend a year working on community projects, learn how all groups live.
I would introduce a 50p tax on all monies earned/gained over £100,000 per year.
I would cancel the Trident replacement programme and run down our nuclear deterant.
Now is the time for the Goverment to introduce proportional representation! The people don't want it but that's because they have been hyped into thinking it's bad for the country
