If expats are failures back home but still taking the good jobs and high pay over the locals; by implication the writer is suggesting that the locals must be even more shit than the expats.

Haven't looked at where the HK government gets its money, but I think income taxes in HK probably a small portion.
I think HK government gets the majority of its money through land sales and various land rates.
I could be totally wrong though.
Edit to add: I think salaries tax amounts to about 16% of overall government revenue. Seems the biggest revenue is profits tax at about 20% and then a bunch of land stuff, followed by other stuff.
So I guess salaries tax, while not the biggest, is a significant minority.
I will go and stand in the corner quietly now.

I think Spike on his blog Hongkietown was pretty spot on:-
"This is not an example of reasonable public debate over issues. This is hate-mongering, pure and simple."
I did enhance the competitiveness of my own country, (admittedly it might have been by leaving...!)......Maybe he's talking about Shri and this place? What am I on about?
