Need for Immigration ?

by Melophore
Yesterday's article prompted a strong and fast response from TUP and PCP members. May I remind them that the New Social Democrat is a eLeft newspaper and it's purpose is to expose certain people's views.
I have no problems with honest employees getting raises, I'm just worried that it is done in a unsustainable manner.
It is common sense. If prices double, it will make our markets open to imports. The government might be counting on this to increase it's fiscal revenue. I run an export company, amongst many, and inflation encourages me to sell on the UK market what I would sell abroad. Many there will be an increase in sales of market licence's toward the UK.
This is good, and will fill up the coffers of the nation. The downside is that UK companies are having problems finding productive staff, because of the current health crisis. I have invested greatly in keeping my staff healthy. Wages will be too high, foreign imports will be cheaper and more cost effective. Inflation would have wipped out our spending power and savings. If the poor actually have savings...
What is better ? Increase productivity to induce wage increase and price decrease.
I found it a bit premature to announce the success of the recovery plan, we will judge at the end of the term if it was or not a success.
I'm not pro-TUP or anti-TUP, I believe that there position can only be stronger if they meet criticism.
They have enacted a vast stimulus plan, wages have shot up, but prices have as well... The later isn't logical because we are supposed to be over producing. When will inflation stop, prices stabilize ? Is there a will to do so ?
The UK is rich in companies, there are about 1500 companies for 7000 people. The population is too low for the number of companies to optimize our production, health is too low to be competitive.
Is the strategy consist in ruining some British entrepreneurs ? Shouldn't the government start out a vast campaign to call upon immigrants to help our markets and companies ?
Many jobs are vacant, money can be made quickly, etc... Move to England !
Proposed Measures
-advertise and favor immigration, massively.Britains population isn't expanding fast enough.
-Reduce Income Tax by 10 % and Increase VAT by 5% slightly to favor exports and penalize imports. In that manner the state will make more money from inflation. Reducing income tax will favor exports.

I don't think reducing the Income Tax will have to do anything with increasing exports; of course, the worker will get more money, but that will only increase consumption and therefore favor imports and inflation. The Comps can easily avoid income taxes.
A higher VAT would penalize imports, true, but I don't think we are importing that much due to our current import taxes - and on the black market, there is not tax at all.
What about immigration ? Sounds like a good idea ?
More ppl is always a good idea, still, most people will stay at home in order to defend their own country or move to Russia that has most Phoenix-MPPs. But if were possible, the idea itself sure isn't bad at all.
I have foreign staff, and operate abroad as well. High wages in the UK could interest more than one.
Higher wages also mean higher prices 😉
And The highest wages are in countries like Russia or Brazil, you usually can't beat that.

In other news, this newspaper looses the support of the BEP party 😛.
Well it is hard to build any empire if your weaker than everyone else. I think I can llive with myself without BEP support 😉
