The UK recently had their budget and I could just hear accountants, business leaders and commentators disgusted at the various taxes they levied at the richest. Their suggestion, do the complete reverse of Norway, have the Government actively rescind its manifesto promise on the grounds of changed circumstances and increase taxes substantially on the poorest while reducing or abolishing taxes for the richest and if pensioners, families and children suffer, so be it. This isn't some fringe, edgy commentary channel on YouTube or Rumble this was said on, this was on mainstream media outlets such as BBC Radio 4.
The problem with people arguing for no taxes on the wealthy is that the Government then has to levy taxes on the poorest and the middle classes which leads to emigration, suffering and indigenous flight while illegally entering immigrants won't care and will continue as normal. You will have your indigenous population leave the country either by flight or body bag.
Illegals are always coming for the free gibs.
So cutting spending is one way of stopping them.
I get the suspicion that cutting spending for illegal immigrants will be the last thing they do. They're more likely to allow indigenous pensioners to freeze first for their ideology.
