The greatest joke ever bestowed upon the Irish people. To cap it all Limerick's most loved tax exile hosts a boorish party for the great and good of our little Island. Laughing at us is what these elites are doing and we seem to be happy to take it.

An interesting article from Gene Kerrigan who as usual in his recent articles is spot on. The way they have managed to turn us on each other with tales of welfare abuse and single mammies is our own fault. The country is being taken for a ride and our government, not for the first time. is following like a meek little lamb to the slaughter. Maybe after this next budget we will see the people rise up to some extent but I won't be holding my breath.

Anyone who can legimately avoid tax liability in this country does right to do so as the alternative is for this government, similar to the previous, to waste it as quick as it comes in. Case in point , last exchequer figures, tax take 500m ahead of forecast but spending
budget absolutely blown out of the water.

The vast majority of people now on welfare were actually working up until the Capitalist system so beloved of the like of yourself and the current government failed and the rest of us get to pay for

The irony of course is the same capitalist system is now paying for this welfare , and generous welfare at that. The ultimately sham is that the socialist alternative to capitalism peddled by the likes of SF, Boyd Barrett, Higgins , and various other bleeding heart groups could never be sustained by a socialist economy and can only be funded by capitalism. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

Good man, don't answer my question then. But quite how you can say that the system that has brought almost the entire globe to it's knees, will be the system to restore everything is something I cannot accept. That is complete and utter bullshhit my friend. While I fully accept that there are plenty holes in the policies of Higgins et al I know which system I would prefer to have rather than the current sham.
