1.Basic principles
We think there is no ideal thing in our world. But we’ll try to describe maximal effective welfare state.The social security system should be simple,
clear, eligibility and effective.
2.Taxation
• Income tax• Land tax• The property tax• Unified social tax• State duty• And others
3.Categories of citizens entitled to various benefits
• The poor• The retired• The widowed• The unemployed• The sick• The disable• Single parents• Child• Students• Families on low incomes
4.Different types of benefits
Of course welfare state should pay benefits for its citizens. But only those who really need it should receive benefits. They are pensioners, the disabled, widows with little children and invalids. To my mind unemployed and homeless shouldn’t get money from the state, because they are to be guilty for their being unemployed and homeless and if they want to be rich and happy they can do it themselves.
Welfare state should pay for medical service. Hospitals should treat for free only those patients, whose diseases are dangerous for their health. Certainly plastic operations won’t be paid by state.
Child is the future of any country. State should take care about them. Important parts of children’s life are school and university. Every country wants to have good specialists. That’s why education should be free. From my point of view education should be compulsory for all kids.
Most of countries have their own culture. The state should remember about it and support it.
5.Organs of responsibility: government and local authorities
For the conduct of fiscal policy and for the creation of a state system for ensuring the state should be responsible

As we already said there is no ideal thing in our world. But state which helps its citizens, takes care about children, provides medical help, remembers about culture is very close to being ideal. That’s our opinion.
