I sort of agree ... but I'd perhaps put it more that you build a tax debt if you don't immediately start paying taxes on arrival, which cover those services that you are eligible from arrival, and .. then it all turns into a mess when I consider the case of, say, large numbers of ill people making it to the UK to take advantage of the health service here with conditions that mean they can never be "revenue neutral" over the rest of their working lives.
As long as benefits are different in each country, then having paid ten years of tax in, for example, Poland, may or may not be sufficient to give you healthcare in, say, the United States.
In simple terms, *I* want to be able to live and work wherever I want to, but I can see there are dangers and pitfalls to that system.
