  You will not improve education by getting rid of some of the best schools, the private schools. Far better to expand the private sector and provide opportunities for more children to go private, vouchers, tax relief on school fees, making it easier for more private schools to open and so on.
  
  Totally disagree with you about what Grammars achieve - In Dover there are probably too many Grammar places and that causes other problems but it is no coincidence that social mobility has decreased as a result of left wing policies, education policies in particular.
  
  As far as the collective is concerned, we need much less of 'the collective' and need to see that people stand on their own two feet a lot more. One of the core problems in this country is too much 'collective' and we need to shrink the role of the State dramatically and expect it to provide and do a lot less. We will have a much healthier society if we do that. To me that is the core of the argument here and the need to tax a lot less.
  
  Remember people earn their money and it is their money that the State takes off them in excessive taxation. People will, however much they earn, resent the amount of money taken from them in this way. It is also far too complicated and a lot of people pay too much tax and many on and who need benefits do not claim them due to complexity. It is a crazy system, the tax credits are a nightmare.
  
  I really dont see how you can square your circle about taxing the rich and not the successful.
