Is the question "do you support this idea", or is it "would you pay it, if pressed to do it, and assuming there are no other options"?ArgieBee wrote:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... vices.html
Would you pay £5000 if you could reclaim it once you had paid a certain amount of tax?
Most tier 1 would have paid many times that in tax and national insurance after a couple of years.
Finding the money at the start might be a problem and there would need to be some route for those that don't find a good job and leave to reclaim some of the money back.
As I said, on principle, I don't mind paying it, as long as the hateful propaganda of "benefit scrounging, job stealing foreigners" is finished, and the constant harassment of Tier 1 holders with possible rule changes is no longer an option. However, my understanding is that paying this sum will do nothing to quell the anger towards immigrants (and Tier 1 and 2 holders in particular), so I see no real benefit in giving away a large sum of money.ArgieBee wrote:The interesting point is that it refunded after you pay taxes so in the long run it costs nothing but reassures Daily Mail readers that the people coming in are good taxpayers (like the vast majority of people on tier 1).
It is the reason why those on tier 1 should be encouraged and welcomed.
