Moving from a low wage, high tax, high welfare society to higher wages, lower taxes & welfareisright

I agree wholeheartedly with the approach of thePM as he set out in detail yesterday how we provide greater opportunities, higher wages and a better society.
The key quote from his speech is here:
"We need to move from a low wage, high tax, high welfare society to a higher wage, lower tax, lower welfare society. Indeed, across the spectrum, as a country we have been too busy picking up the pieces of failure that has gone before. Dealing with anti-social behaviour rather than strengthening families. Managing youth unemployment rather than boldly reforming education."
