I didn't say they were... I said non doms pay more into the economy than a bunch of chavs combined, and what's more, take nothing out.
And no I'm not saying that, I'm saying the offset for allowing the non doms is that in return for the tax breaks, we get a bunch more money pumped into our economy. No different to making sure your employees bring in more money than you pay them. You give them wages, pay a bunch of tax on your side for them, give them holidays, be flexible, dental/medical, and a bunch of other perks to make sure you get the cream of the crop, and in return you bring in more than you are laying out. There'll never be this utopia where everyone is equal, everyone earns the same, and so on and so on - that's the harsh reality of life, so when you can do something whereby you lose xxx,xxx in tax, but gain x,xxxx,xxx into the economy, you opt for the latter, to balance the books with the rest of the ins/outs of the country.
As usual though, it's people moaning about someone else's situation, rather than worrying about how to improve their own - it's the human condition and one that most people never grasp.
