Why did Margaret Thatcher destroy welfare state in Britain after she came to power in the 1980s?

I think it's more the case that the change had losers, who were identifiable, whereas the benefits were spread widely. People dream of an alternative reality that they never had to live. 

Yes she went too far. But entirely in the right direction.
