Sweden to raise retirement age to pay for Muslim migration
https://www.jihadwatch.org ^ | 12/19/2017 | Christine Douglass-Williams

Swedish Socialist party Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson announced that the retirement age would likely be raised in the near future in order to offset increased welfare costs, Swedish newspaper Expressen reports.

“Looking at those who start working at 30, there should be opportunities to work longer than 65,” Andersson said.

The minister made her remarks following an economic report from the Local Authorities and County Council (SKL) released earlier this week. The report claimed that the welfare state would grow faster than revenue obtained through taxation due to the dramatic rise of Sweden’s population.

Due to the influx of migrants during the migrant crisis and Sweden’s growing birthrate, the population of the country has expanded faster than almost any other European country.

Some Swedish cities, like the southern city of Malmo, owe their population growth almost entirely to mass migration from predominantly Middle Eastern countries.

The SKL study claims there is a 47 billion SEK (£4.1 billion) gap between current revenue and welfare state costs that will have to be made up either by tax increases or increasing the retirement age.

While migrants are increasing the cost of the Swedish welfare state in terms of added infrastructure and cost for services, many are unemployed and directly on welfare. A recent report showed that while the native Swedish unemployment rate was around 3.9 percent, it stood at 21.8 percent for Swedish residents from foreign backgrounds.

How very sad. A lovely country with lovely people and I am very glad that I got to see it before the invasion of filthy parasites.

What a country. Old Swedes will work until they are dead, so that their invaders can live off their government. Pathetic.

Get that? “Opportunities” for you to work longer than 65.. so you can pay for young, military-aged males to collect freebies while sitting on their ass, contemplating raping your women.

Do they have weapons with which to conduct such a war?

The funny thing is that the Corporations could not care less. The Government gives these immigrants $$ to buy stuff, which increases profits. As long as the costs are paid for by the People or by increasing the deficit (vs. corporate taxes), they are fine with it.
