Yes, there is a new nationalism rising. You can see it "charting"
in Europe, as their movement is slightly ahead of our own.
We too, have a fixed future date, with our own version of nationalism, bearing
down on us.
I was told this was coming, as I sat in a seminar, almost 30 years ago
this month.
The speaker said to watch the immigration policies for signs that
things were on track. And to observe what the politicians DO...which
would be the exact opposite of what they say.
He warned us to be careful, that things could get ugly and violent.
That we could see the kind of activism and rioting, not witnessed since
the 1960's.
Thanks Ron...
That's fascinating!
May I ask, do you remember who the speaker was?
Sounds like he had some real insights...!
In the middle of all this, is immigration. The politicians in Europe and N. America
intend to harness the immigrant population, to pay the additional taxes needed
to fund all the senior entitlement programs.
They can't hope to do it, without them.
There lies reality star Biff's great dilemma. The immigrants need to be on
the Fast Track to becoming legal, taxpaying citizens, for this all to work.
To me, this sounds like it makes sense...
People want and need to be supported, especially as they get older...
Some people are okay. They've got a good "nest egg" stashed away.
But many don't. They'll need help...
Social security is running out of money. How to fund it all?
Of course, more tax paying immigrants is one possibly solution... More tax payers means more government money, and means potentially more money going into social security...
There may be other answers (I haven't really thought it through, or read what others have said)... But I can see the argument...
Very interesting. Who knows what will happen...
It's a big Pandora's box right now, as I see it...
Best wishes,
Dien
