Nobody should be allowed to own land. You can build a building and that building is yours because you built it but you can't make land and the only reason you own it is because someone in the past used violence to take it.

I'm ok with paying taxes for universal healthcare and infrastructure. Welfare for anyone who isn't mentally/phisically disabled (on various levels) can go to hell. No unemployment benefits, no state-funded child support.
Universal healthcare would go a long way to improve all of the latter, however to play cause and effect; If you remove unemployment and child-support, you've inevitably now increased the homeless population and driven others to crime. How you do now deal with that?
