Sinn Fein - Populism and Partionism

[tallback]

@Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy

I agree with the philosophy behind the property tax but the system in place presently seems to be open to manipulation.

How so? It’s fairly crude but hard enough to dodge I would have thought?

@Juhniallio

Eh… is this not the case already? Certainly seems to be.

It is yet a host of left-wing parties oppose LPT using an irrelevant “little old lady in a big house” sob-story

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

Is it not self assessed. Eg you declare the value of your property yourself. It’s also not scaled for the type of property you own.

LPT is likely to be a lot more burdensome on a low income family in a 3 bed semi detached than on someone with a big mansion in the country.

Yeah but revenue can adjust it if/when you sell you’re property.

You’re correct in terms of the urban v rural impact. At least now the revenue raised will be staying local

[Tim_Riggins]

You’re clearly not very left wing

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

Why?

[Ashman]

Nobody is left wing really . We all think there is someone else who should pay more ( bar Paddy Cosgrave )

[TheUlteriorMotive]

Most people trust themselves to spend their money and get value more than they trust some mandarin.

Incorrect. They are against the family home tax.

They would still tax additional properties be them holiday homes or rental properties. They also propose increasing stamp duty on commercial property.

So they’re more right wing and pro-property interests than the current property tax regime. Thanks.

Let me know the next time you claim Sinn Fein are a left wing party.

They aren’t.

Tax second properties and increase tax on commercial properties.

No tax on family homes.

Fianna Fail caused a financial crash in which the state is in debt of 200 billion euro, Fine Gael are building a children’s hospital in a ridiculously badly situated site with current overruns of 1 bn plus, on track to be the world’s most expensive ever building… but look over there, some Sinn Fein possible members (doubt they had Mary Lou and Eoin Broin on the job)were involved in the Northern Bank robbery of 26 million stg…

@Cheasty

'02 Green
'07 Green
'11 SF
'16 SF
'20 Green

Voted 2 Labour 3 PBP 4 PBP type left IND candidate last time.

[EstebanSexface]

are you done with SF because they’re popular now? The ideology hasn’t changed much, nor the history
