The Economic Consequences of Welfarism and Open Borders

This chapter critiques the intersection of welfarism and open border policies, arguing that they exacerbate tax burdens on the working population and lead to increased dependency. It highlights the resulting decline in job numbers and business confidence in the UK, especially within low-income sectors, as rising operational costs drive companies to favor contractor hires over full-time staff. Furthermore, the discussion touches on the financial challenges facing the NHS, the effect of tax policies on wealth migration, and the overall need for a shift in economic strategies.
