Atilla stated:
1. Aging popullation
2. Pension crises
3. Taxation burden
4. Wage increase supression
What are the alternatives Euthanasia, natural wastage or immigration?
I'm not entirely what point(s) you're trying to make here? But, try this:
1. Aging population?
So what? It's utterly irrelevant, I'm by no means young and I intend to 'work' until I drop, although you'll have to bear in mind that I haven't done a stroke of what you might consider work for the last twenty years? So, I reckon I've got another thirty years of productive life left to me......
2. Pension crises
Point 1 rather take care of that question, unless you're completely stricken by the conventional wisdom of (some sort) a dichotomy between 'work' and life? In which case, I'd suggest that you fail to comprehend either??? But, anyway, we can't all be rentiers and so we'll have to work a bit harder for next ten years or so - a necessity, which even this dumb ass government seems to have grasped? ...
3. Taxation Burden
That's a question for the people who voted for Nulabour to answer. (I use to work for the party, BTW) The cuts are gonna come whom ever the electorate votes in? (Bear in mind, most of government expenditure is money wasted, but it keeps an army of quangoes, etc in business?
4. Wage suppression
Not sure you know what you're talking about? You've seen the movie Network? Globalisation brings you loads of wage suppression surely, there's absolutely a surplus of labour (lumpen proletariat), to be found among Asia's teeming millions? Is that not the case??????? Come on. I can feel your sense of outrage... oh, the Dickens??
So, you ask: What are the alternatives Euthanasia, natural wastage or immigration?
1. Euthanasia
Bring it on? when the times right, why not? Get yourself a living will? I've no problem with that!!! (Hint: Don't even try to give me all that Gas Chambers or Nazi bollox, ok? Me dad, saw all that stuff (almost as a child) so I'm NOT in denial)!!!
2. Natural wastage
...... What does that mean???? Baffling
3. immigration
In terms of the current level of immigration? Well, there's almost no need for immigration on economic grounds, and probably no economic benefits are to be derived from the current arrangements, which are mostly political in intent? IMO, we should be content to 'allow' immigration on economic grounds, but I'm unclear why 'we' should look beyond those criteria? We have our a huge underclass of our own (right?), so I'm not clear why we should import any more, unless it's simply to add to our own burden of post colonial guilt? (Some of which were not ours in any case?)
Got that?????
Christ sake, please try an raise your game and/or keep up?????
