Is this a bad thing? You'd only leave if you weren't contributing to the local economy. People who, for example, run a small business in the UK aren't impacted at all.

How is a rich person living in London not contributing to the economy? They don't actually make their money in United kingdom, they just import it to live near good Indian food, fish and chips, and the theater. Theatre.

  • Not paying taxes while enjoying the benefits?

    Being able to pay higher prices than locals so prices for goods and housing go up? "investment properties" and such

    • They pay their vats and they pay property taxes and presumably have insurance and grocery bills etc.

      Which benefits are they enjoying that they are not paying the taxes for? National defense?
