More good news from Phil Hogan..

splashthecash

Apparently from this morning's "9 at 9" on the Journal, increases to income tax could be on the horizon in an effort to make up the short fall for the people who haven't paid the household charge

This guy just keeps turning the screw...

If this comes through, can I have my money back that I transferred over to you a few months ago Philo? Thank you very much...

This is just another attempt to reflect away from the real situation that is inefficencies in the county councils and reform and turning people against each other:

The payers against the non-payers.

How is that enforceable? It's supposed to be taxed as it is.

I heard a bit of Ming Flanagan yesterday and this is his main problem with the household tax. It's going to people who don't know what to do with it!

I see Fail Hogan is still trying to scaremonger the Irish people. This is no more than a publicity stunt, and many stupid Irish people will fall for it. He has no intention of raising taxes, he's just trying to come at the household charge from another angle.

Well the shortfall will have to come from somewhere...

Well his first effort didn't work and neither will this. You'd think FG would appoint a Minister who actually paid his own charges instead of someone like Phil.

Sometimes it's awe inspiring how incompetent and delusional our politicians in successive governments are. Its actually really amazing. The mind boggles.

And we never learn. Just keep electing these fcuking muppets in.

Galway council are being threatened with a fine because of a low number of people signing on for the household charge, or something along those lines. It's fascist nonsense to threaten a council with a reduction in funding. Like a pimp beating a hooker for not making enough in a night. I mean they're not debt collectors. It's not her fault she's unridable. (I mean the household charge when I say that, just to be clear).

We seem to be getting quite a lot of threats from this government. Its like getting boxed in the face and being told 'shut up, its for your own good.'

Poor ould Seanie. Never did a bit of harm to anyone. He bankrupts one little country and people just can't let it go.

Is Phil Hogan another persona of Steve Coogan, similar to Alan Partridge only 100 times worse?

Ya, the wretched two-faced smarminess is the worst of it. It's not cuts or taxes that rankle me as much as the transparent blundering foolishness of the whole enterprise, to the further detriment of the state. Clowns running a circus.
The best hopes in the long term rest on the current lot not screwing up too much rather than enacting any kind of policy that could possibly stimulate growth. God forbid.
