Scarce Resources

Sunday, 09 June 2024

At any moment, there are a limited number of scarce resources available for governments to spend. These resources are taken by the government from the citizens through taxation.

If these scarce resources are allocated to people from other countries who have not contributed to their creation, and if they are given resources—such as housing, money, school placements or NHS operations—in preference to the people whose taxes made those resources possible, then those same resources become unavailable to those who paid for them.

This is a violation of the principle of social justice. It creates bad blood because the people who have been taxed and then deprived of their resources feel betrayed by the politicians —-because they HAVE been betrayed!

The people who contributed and made the resources possible should have preferential access to those scarce resources.

People coming in from other countries should NOT be served in preference to the needs of the indigenous population whose taxes made the resources possible.

This is social justice.

It’s true because Charity begins at home.

Give me your thoughts, please
