Quite simply, the government's policies are untried and untested, amounting to nothing less than a gamble with the lives of us all. Many economists and financial commentators believe that it can't work because there simply won't be enough jobs available and it will hamper economic growth. Added to that, the Mirrlees Report has said that our tax system in "costly and inequitable". Of course, when they fail (as they will) they won't blame themeselves, they'll blame any vulnerable group that they can finger and the rabid right-wing will believe them and rant on mindlessly about scum and scroungers.
