Libertarianism also certainly doesn't address the border issue.

it is terrible on that, yes

Especially given the breadth of state power necessary to enforce the border and protect demographics in the modern age.

Brb gonna eat

But Lex, America is a melting pot

Stupid bigot

we are selling off our values and culture for cold efficiency

the market is not God

I'm actually not a big fan of the property tax. It's one of the forms of tax which prevent one from ever truly owning their own house.

Though to be serious, open borders would economically be a large benefit in the long run excluding all forms of government handouts. The issue however is that culture and people trump economic progress imo

economically in theory in a vacuum

not how it happens

@[Lex] Depends on where you are. Most places around here go for $5k in taxes a year. My family and I currently rent and that's....... $10k which is considered cheap

The issue with property tax is that you pay it all at once if I recall

driving up the housing prices, lowering the wages, lowering the social trust

only a psychopath would support open borders for economic reasons

at least leftists support it because they're a bunch of delusional virtue signalling fucktards

+ all the poor labour would deepen the consumption economy problem

Though increased spending and a more diverse market would spur more innovation, would it not?

at what cost

Arguably, it'd hinder automation by reducing economic pressure.

the phone's a bit shinier, the camera's a bit better, maybe it costs a bit less

but that comes with a price far larger than it's worth

Economically speaking, which is?

Lowered wages?

Lower wages is one of them, economically speaking

but to me the economy is far in the periphery relative to something like the social trust and identity of a nation

Velocity of money would increase due to the propensity to consume increasing in the economy.

the GDP MEME

+ the debt-to-gdp falling, their credit rating would improve and they'd be able to borrow more

@FLanon Agreed however I'm being the devil's advocate, arguing from a purely economic standpoint
