For example, Dept of Immi figures show that 70% of Australians who were born in Afganistan are welfare-dependant!
Howard's immigration system (100 points) basically weeded out those who were going to add to Australia, from those who were going to form welfare ghettos. In some ways it was akin to an IQ test. By improving the immigrants, he was able to increase immigration and reduce Australia's fear of immigration at the same time. Pretty impressive result!
The future now is at risk, not fromm immigration, but from the middle-class's failure to produce enough children.
The future needs a middle class...
Without a middle-class, you have no democracy, you have no free education, you have no social mobility etc.
In Aust the rich are getting richer (and fewer) and the poor getting more numerous, because of unbalanced fertility.
It's birthrates... The middle(professional) class in western nations is suiciding. While the welfare class and the Muslims are breeding rapidly?
Welfare actively discriminates against parenthood, marriage and against the middle-class.
Children are quite profitable for those on welfare.
Meanwhile the middle class can't affort large families.
Solution 1: remove the complex family payments etc... and just make families tax-deductible!
- 5% off your tax per kid? Or
- allow income splitting between all family members, so the middle class can finally afford children!
What is it about being middle-class that causes it to suicide? What causes middle-class people to fail to have large families?
Firstly feminism is a middle-class thing... Middle-class wives enjoy a work-life balance, dads work long hours and work on the weekends trying to catch-up with their kids...
Men know that divorce means everything they ever worked for. Worse still their kids they love are stolen from them...
So professional men are refusing to become fathers...
Men know marriage and fatherhood has been rigged by feminism and are refusing to marry... changing girlfriends every few years to avoid the risks of fatherhood and divorce.
