<<Also the more the state provides for more people, the more it creates perverse incentives. The less people have to work for themselves, the less they will work>.

This is the great right wing myth.

The more you take from those who do create wealth, the less wealth they will create, and the more effort they will spend on hiding the wealthy, lobbying the government for tax breaks, taking advantage of existing tax breaks.

That seems to directly contradict the experience of the last, say, 50 years. We're taking much less (percentage) and they are finagling much more.
