If it is your desire Sir, that this country became a total welfare state, then pass a law that all businesses turn all their profits over to the Government and your appointed czars, in their infinite wisdom, can decide how much each employee should have in salary and how much each employer can have to run his/her business and how much he/she can keep as profit.
The rest of their money the Government should keep so they can decide how much each person should have to feed his family (equal amounts, of course), and all go to the same schools, what foods they can eat and all allowed the same cost in housing, etc.
Then, any family that has insufficient funds can apply for assistance (commonly known as welfare) with the understanding that they will always be beholden to the Government.
It was Sir. Winston Churchill who said “The inherent wisdom of Capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings, The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”
So, why should our Government not devise a plan to make everyone get the same medical treatment, at the same hospital and of course the appointed czars would tell everyone what treatment they can have and when.
Then private insurance companies and private hospitals will no longer be necessary.
It is only when that is all a fait accompli that we can start to wonder where all the money really did go – maybe most of it can then be used, like National Insurance, to fund pet projects such as Bank of the Bahamas and have the funds available to bail them out when they fail.
Of course it would be our fault, because we should have remembered the Freedom Of Information Act that Government conveniently forgot to pass.
Then you can retire with your legacy as the Prime Minister who pushed his country into bankruptcy.
