When goods and services produced by the productive population is diverted to
non-prodctive population, the average real income after tax for the
productive people goes down, the real cost of production including tax goes
up which causes low productivity people to lose out to Indians. When the
real income for the productive people goes down, savings go down and
therefore investment goes down and therefore productivity gains slow down
