...funny thing is, SVP is supporting the rich foreigners that are coming here with really interesting tax benefits...really a catch 22...yes it's hard for people in Switzerland especially in Zug...real hard...hard as hell...
I don't know, the way I look at it, is not in an economic sense.

I mean these people will "be okay'.

The issue is that so much Swiss identity is wrapped up in their specific dialect and where the Canton or region of the Canton they come from, I'm sure moving to a more affordable area, for many people, is somewhat traumatic. Moving because of "foreigners" driving up the cost of things, is probably a worse feeling. I can imagine I would not feel much different in that situation. I think it is human nature.
