Sweden to raise retirement age to pay for Muslim migration

Dec 19, 2017 7:14 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The increasing costs of population growth in Sweden, driven almost entirely mass migration, have forced the government to seriously consider raising the national retirement age to pay for the additional costs.

The days of the jizya are coming fast.

Although the deceitful Organization of Islamic Cooperation says that Europe needs mass Muslim migration to pay its pensions, in reality it’s the other way around. For example: out of the 1.2 million migrants who flooded into Germany in 2016, only “34,000 or 2.8% have found a job,” while only one-third of 1% found jobs in Sweden. In Britain, migrants were found to be “a net drain…on the order of between £115 and £160 billion.” Still, Akeel makes a broad sweep and accuses “right wing parties” of lying about immigration “from the third world.”

By mid-century, according to Pew Research stats, it’s all over for Sweden: 30.6 percent of the population is projected to be Islamic. With the calls now for Sweden to raise retirement age to pay for Muslim migrants on welfare, imagine what the economic situation of the country, and its overall condition, will be like then.

“Sweden Forced to Raise Retirement Age To Pay For Mass Immigration Policy”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, December 17, 2017:

The increasing costs of population growth in Sweden, driven almost entirely mass migration, have forced the government to seriously consider raising the national retirement age to pay for the additional costs.

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.

A 2016 report claimed that the one-year cost of the migrant crisis for the Swedish taxpayer could amount to as much as 600 billion Swedish Kronor (£48.3 billion)….

    Of course. The jizya is not gonna pay for itself you know. While you’re at it, might as well kick up the living expenses and introduce new taxes like… the tax on air for example, because breathing is a privilege.

    Sweden is getting exactly what they deserve, instead of deporting ALL Muslins. Why not invite a million more helpless, poor jihadists and support them to the kind of life style they shared in their own country. They are lazy, and their only objective is to kill infidels. All of the jihadists/muslims deserve to die. You can say, I am biased against majority of Muslims. Their only goal is to concur all of Europe. All of them are POS….leo

    Here’s a novel idea: How about letting the adult male migrants work for a living or send them packing back to where they came from? Idle hands are the Devil’s workshop.

    Here is the cause of the problems in Sweden, but who will believe it? A feminist government has prepared its own destruction. It’s hilarious!:

    http://www.government.se/government-policy/a-feminist-government/:

    Sweden has the first feminist government in the world. This means that gender equality is central to the Government’s priorities – in decision-making and resource allocation. A feminist government ensures that a gender equality perspective is brought into policy-making on a broad front, both nationally and internationally. Women and men must have the same power to shape society and their own lives. This is a human right and a matter of democracy and justice. Gender equality is also part of the solution to society’s challenges and a matter of course in a modern welfare state – for justice and economic development. The Government’s most important tool for implementing feminist policy is gender mainstreaming, of which gender-responsive budgeting is an important component.

      A feminist government in the country with the second highest rape rate in the world, where cops don’t have time to investigate rapes?

      I don’t think so.

      I think that women would likely prefer to live in places like Singapore, where rapists get caned, etc. Funny how the streets are safe at night for women there.

      • Bob says

        Dec 20, 2017 at 8:03 am

        Oh dear, O dear, Mike – the EUHRC would go screaming mad at the very thought of caning, especially in public. And certainly not of mucklim ‘guests’!

    “MIGRANT CRISIS” ? What they mean is the Lefts Contrived Languge giving cover to an INTENDED “deal invasion “ with Jihadists embedded amongst all types trying to get into Europe. The Jihadists even told us the METHOD AND TIMING. Either our lesders are immensely stupid or intentionally complicit.

      This whole subject is riddled with dishonest descriptors.
      Some translations are in order.

      Humanitarian Crisis……………..Assisted Invasion
      Refugees……………………………Economic migrants
      Syrians………………………………Men from Africa, Pakistan, Afghanistan
      Asylum Seekers…………………..Welfare seekers
      Unaccompanied children……..Men in their 20s and 30s
      Rescue at sea……………………..Assisting people-traffickers
      Resettlement……………………….Planting hostile seed communities
      Community cohesion……………Failure to uphold the law

      No doubt other candidates for the list can be supplied.

        I agree. The problem with Sweden is the native-born Swedish VOTER.

        Yeah, i was just gonna say, Socialists don’t feel the need to use their own money, so why would they have any problems with not using their own brains…

        They probably have a head on life support somewhere that whispers policy to them, like in that C S Lewis book.

    Of course, when you bring in hundreds of thousands of people who are either ill prepared for or outright refuse to work and pay their fair share of taxes, and who are nothing more than welfare cases producing offspring by the thousands, and who have never contributed to the social, pension, medical or other services, the moronic idiots who actually pay the tab will have to take the hit and work themselves to death to support their new found masters.

    Stupid is as stupid does has never been more appropriate than when it is applied to Sweden, the UK and the EU.

    Hope the indigenous peoples of those regions and countries enjoy their years of extra work time because their fellow migrant masters will certainly be enjoying their “retirement”.

  10. LeftisruiningCanada says

    Dec 19, 2017 at 1:16 pm

    ” there should be opportunities to work longer than 65,”

    Ah, so being forced to work five more years until you can start drawing on a mandatory savings scheme because the welfare sponges need yet more of your money is an “opportunity”, right, got it.

    “Liars will have their part in the fire”, but what about these people?

  11. Sarah says

    Dec 19, 2017 at 2:26 pm

    Oh the irony.

    So, the Swedish taxpayer now has to work longer, in order to pay MORE tax, so that they can support the Muslims, who were all allowed into the nation to begin with, under the guise of being the new workforce who would be paying the taxes themselves that would allow the Swedish taxpayers to retire with welfare benefits..

    That’s how the story went, right? Along with a hefty dose of smugness from the Swede’s about being a humanitarian superpower and all that ridiculous nonsense.

    Get used to it, Sweden. If you guys don’t want to get used to it (and I wouldn’t blame you in the slightest for being fed up, at this point) then FIGHT BACK. You all need to commit yourselves to a revolution. Bring down the elite’s, the politicians and those ridiculous royals. They are deliberately destroying your nation and your way of life.

    “Sweden to raise retirement age to pay for Muslim migration”

    Sooner Sweden becomes Islamic hell, maybe it is better for the west to have an example to wake up.

    WHAT THE F********** IS WRONG WITH SWEDES?

  13. Peter says

    Dec 19, 2017 at 3:28 pm

    And the illustrious political class inform us that Muslim migrants will offset demographic decline and pay for the costs of aging populations! Maybe those aging populations will pay for the traditional parasitic Muslim supremacists (jizya) until the Muslims have taken over and destroyed the cumulative wealth of generations of Swedes. And, the welfare state, it is claimed, represents “progress.”

    Sweden to raise retirement age to pay for Muslim migration
    …………………………..

    Why should the elderly be forced to keep working in order to bring in hordes of young, able-bodied Muslim men, whose only goal is to rape, murder, and impose Shari’ah law? Madness.

    And what happened to these false claims?

    “Organization of Islamic Cooperation says Europe needs mass Muslim migration to pay its pensions”

    https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/12/organization-of-islamic-cooperation-says-europe-needs-mass-muslim-migration-to-pay-its-pensions

    Obviously, this is Taqiyya. Muslims flooding into Europe are costing civilized nations *a fortune*.

    More:

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

    Opportunities are one thing–being forced to continue working so that your Muslim neighbor can live on the dole and plot violent Jihad against you is something very different.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog

          A scorpion asks a frog to carry it across a river. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, they would both drown. Considering this, the frog agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When the frog asks the scorpion why, the scorpion replies that it was in its nature to do so.

          Though the fable is recent, its outlook that certain natures cannot be reformed was common in ancient times

          HMMM, Why is this tale sending shivers down my spine?

    ‘Socialist finance minister Magdalena Andersson’ ……. As soon as I read this I knew it was yet another liberal leftist female in power that was sacrificing the lives of her own people by making them slave till they die just to finance the mass colonisation of their land by hordes of barbaric Muslim heathens.
    These idiotic senseless lefties are what are destroying Western civilization. They need to be rounded up and thrown into a pit with a few thousand of these barbaric rampant rapist’s. Let them all have a taste of what they are imposing on their people. Let them experience the gang raping culture they’ve encouraged. It would make very good entertainment, especially afterwards when they start with their Stockholm syndroming!!! This would then really show how truly insane they all are!

    Remember what they keep telling us, in support of unvetted and unchecked mass immigration, that it is supposed to help pay the pensions of the elderly Swedes and Germans.

    But what we see is the complete opposite. According to a Swedish news report, the amount of money the pensioners get is so meager, they can barely afford to buy milk at the end of the month.

    The whole mass migration from these parts is a scam and a sham rolled up into one.

    Let’s get this right, in Sweden, you may have to work for longer, only to retire on an even smaller pension.

    The Left love talking about hate. But what we are seeing in Europe has to be driven by some sort of hatred. They are allowing their girls to be assaulted and raped, at levels not seen outside of a war zone. Then you have these new immigrants, doing little at all to contribute to their adopted countries while unashamedly dictating terms.

    Unfit Swedish Parent

    Imagine if you were running a household, and as a parent you allowed your family to be treated in the way the Swedish government is running the country. You would be declared an unfit parent.

    Imagine your own daughter was raped and you said, maybe she should have dressed better, and besides the man was from another culture and he didn’t know what he was doing. And it’s not so bad if she was raped by a Muslim. Far worse if he was Swedish. And what’s more, you take no precautions to stop her from getting raped again. It’s the new Sweden!!

    Or your elderly mother doesn’t have enough food, but you make sure any extra money goes to Muhammad and his family, who is a 29-year-old fit and healthy male. Who you claim needs it more.

    Or you simply allowed Muhammad and his whole family to move in. In that case, you’ll have to find another place for grandma and grandpa. Khat chewing Muhammad, and his friends need those rooms more.

    Think the Swedish motto is going to be, mom and dad worked all these lives so Muhammad won’t have to!

    The type of self-hatred involved in these immigration policies, that says everyone on earth is better and more worthy than yourself – is going to need to be addressed.

    Take your money and run, leave your nation that is no longer your nation or stand and fight for your culture, home and history that was once so strong. For those that have allowed this injustice to your nation: Go to hell its where you belong for your betrayal.

    Mass immigration is designed to destroy nation states. We should suspend all immigration into the USA until all potential immigrants can be fully vetted.

    When the Icelandic government devised a nifty plan to take $100 out of each Icelander’s paycheck for 40 years (yes, 40 years) to pay for the 2008 banking meltdown, the rage of the people so frightened the politicians that they immediately dropped that plan. Perhaps the Swedes will do the same, instead of being Mr. and Mrs. Nice Guy.
