Damn those **** for only paying as much tax as they have to.
Unlike the rest of us who send lots of extra moneys to the tax man each year out of the goodness of our hearts, isn't that right Jonjo?

Sure it was announced last week. Regardless of what people think of him, a 20% cut followed by a 30% cut a few days later would be a tad harsh.

That_Guy

Petrol up 3.5%

Going to be more strikes in the Public Sector I'd say, pay cuts across the board

rushnaldo

Good, about time he stood up to the unions.

So they're taxing air & water.... typical. (air being the Carbon/Co2 tax )

I wonder what it takes to be a dope in Dail and randomly give out while the minister is trying to tell the country his plan.

Not really, if you can take you own water from somewhere you can have it for free. ou only have to pay for what the state gives you.


Just so you know, the water in the rivers isnt the cleanest and the sea is a bit salty. Dont say you werent warned.:)

They're hired goons. If you look closely, it's just some guy in an Enda Kenny mask.

This had to come though...it was easier to earn social welfare than get a low-paying job.

The army will come in...we'll probably have martial law for the day. TBH, I doubt they'll do it, I'd say it's just a publicity stunt. If the union did it, the book would be thrown at them.

He's funding more for mental health. Good.

Makes me sick sometimes that people can complain about how much they are losing out when there are so many unemployed people who have now to live on 150 a week.

Spare a thought for these people next time you plan on going on strike. GRRRRRRR
