So the highest earners will leave and then what? Who will be spending their money on goods to keep our economy growing?

No one! Which is why a brain drain tax isn't going to happen............so the divide between the rich and the poor gets bigger.......it's inevitable!

Re: No Foreigners

We have been living the life of riley for the last 20 years or so, with cheap labour and cheap goods in our shops. Both as a result of cheap imports from China and a plentiful supply of cheap labour from abroad. People complain about austerity, wait until inflation bites and all the cheap labour propping up our economy goes. You won't need to reduce benefits because they will be worth less. Your pension will be worth less and so will your savings. The figures out today are saying inflation is going up. The other side of everything that is happening now is that we will see our lifestyles gradually erode back to the early '80s. When clothes cost more than they do now and the Berlin wall was still up.

That's because there are too many of us Julie and we chose cheap goods and low tax jobs rather than having a slower economy with more people contributing to taxes (but never having much). The blairite model was to grow the economy exponentially while relying on cheap foreign labour, global trade to provide cheap imports and never-ending demand for consumer goods to keep driving up the money multiplier. Going to a more insular model with reduced growth and real wages means everything contracts including our (non-existent) pensions, the value of money, the value of the country. You can't change one thing (wages) without everything else in the economy being affected. Nothing is mutually exclusive.

I agree. He definitely wants to upset the applecart. Far beyond socialist. But there appears to be no political middle road.

Re: No Foreigners

One of the loopholes here on the mainland is to employ those from other EU countries normally Romania, Poland, Croatia etc via an employment agency in their own country.
They then pay tax in their own country not in the country they work in but they are also employed at the rate applicable in their own country.
They get a bonus which makes it seem very attractive to work her but as an example OH working in the metal industry getting €22 per hour was working alsoside a Romainian team who were each getting paid €10 per day and thought they were on a good rate..Yes their rent was paid 6 of them in one caravan!
This is another way of putting local people out of work and making the bosses richer.
