    NO

    Immigration will not solve the problemof too few births in Scotland in the past

    Not enough taxpaying

    immigrants to pay the pensions& benefitsNon-tax payingimmigrantslead to higher costs

    SCOTLAND STILL HAS

    A DEMOGRAPHIC

    TIME BOMB

    Over the next 15 years about

    200,000more people will retire than

    Why did the Scots not realise thatfewer births would lead to a

    demographic timebomb?

    ? ?

    Did people go mad?

    Did they suffer fromdelusions?

    Didnt they connect theiractions with Scotlandsfuture ability to pay theirbenefits & pensions?

    MANY OF USdid not thinkabout such

    issuesDID WE

    - really care?- think we would be

    OK?

    WE CAN- do what we want

    - have it all

    MANY HAVE FANTASIES

    ABOUT THE STATE

    The State CAN andWILL pay for all the

    consequences of peoplesactions

    It can pay big pensions andallow early retirement

    REALITIES ABOUT THE STATE

    The State is running out ofmoney and is beingoverwhelmed by the costs

    & burdens of peoplesactions

    PEOPLE BELIEVED IN GOD

    THE STATE OR IN A FAIRY

    GODMOTHER STATE

    and in its power to pay uspensions

    despite not having enough children topay the taxes to pay the pensions

    Facing many is the question

    WHO WILL

    PAY FOR

    YOUR

    LIFESTYLE?

    Many do not want to payfor the costs of theirbehaviour

    But someone always pays

    Someone always has to bearthe burden

    Who?

    Future generations?
