Already we see the richest few subsidising the poorest many. Add the migration effect that takes the low-skilled workers from the poorest countries and puts them into the richer countries. Causing more unemployment, lower wages and increased benefits.

EU migrants without a job make up city the size of Bristol

Three million EU migrants to keep benefits after Brexit in breach of Tory manifesto

Quote:
Male migrants are concentrated in the two lowest paid occupational categories (elementary and processing occupations) and in one of the highest paid occupational categories (professional), while female migrants are more concentrated in professional jobs (e.g. nurses, engineering professionals, information technology and telecommunication, and health professionals), elementary (e.g. cleaners, kitchen and catering assistants), and personal service work.
Why take so many low paid workers with 1.6 million unemployed? The real level is said to be 3.5 million. Many low-paid in the UK get subsidies from the government so they can survive. Allowing big business to get away with holding wages down.

Quote:
The welfare state is a big part of British family life, with 20.3 million families receiving some kind of benefit (64% of all families), about 8.7 million of them pensioners. For 9.6 million families, benefits make up more than half of their income (30% of all families), around 5.3 million of them pensioners. The number of families receiving benefits will be between 1 and 2 million fewer now because of changes to child tax credits that mean some working families who previously got a small amount now get nothing.
This is slowly bankrupting the UK, along with a few more European countries.

The EU refused David Cameron this proposal. Seems Merkel doesn't get the same treatment. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...iming-benefits
