Not just a pretty face.
Politics in this country is irrelevant, if you think that Sinn Fein would be allowed to start distributing wealth around the country and get people working your delusional. We are controlled by the EU Commission.
I think they will protect the poorest at the expense of the middle & upper class

That was some annihilation, really put Burton and his insular, ignorant freestate view to shame.
thank fuck
I reckon they would honestly try to, but regardless of being in power in Dail Eireann (at least as part of a coalition), the real power is over in Brussels when it comes to budgets etc.
they might control budgets but there would be latitude for SF to hit the rich instead of the poor within that budget
you aren’t even Oirish, stay out of this thread
are you sticking to north county for the time being peter?
what are you on about now ?
The problem is though, what can be considered the rich, the elite can always move offshore to a tax free haven and it’s probably the middle classes in the 35+ bracket who have paid the largest price over the last 6 years with negative equity and 52% effective income tax on wages.
That’s a clamping.
With a natural majority and would fairly come to their senses if they were getting ridden by SF and make sure that wouldn’t happen a second time. Understandably everyone’s fucked off with the current situation and current crowd but substantial increase to tax rates and the introduction of a wealth tax would focus the mind fairly quickly.
Very few politicians put a figure on what they consider “rich” when they’re floating ideas like wealth taxes - the reality is for the tax to work the bar would need to be set pretty low.
a yes, the old entrepreneurs leaving the country argument. A hardy annual of the fianna fail tent. Pity a lot of the b4stards didn`t fuck off in time before the built a shit load of houses with pyrites and trousered the cash.

Eh?
Huh?
But rich people are better people are they not? They’re rich because they’re smarter and work harder. Like @Bandage.
anybody who is Oirish and is rich is fundamentally flawed, they are rich because their parents are rich, their parents were rich because in turn their parents were rich & it basically goes back to the time of the brits when the souptakers and quislings took the shilling. since then Oirish society has favoured the people who made money on the back of being quislings
Lovely soup. And land. Plenty of land.
Little bit of soup and properity for generations.
