We can March on the Dail to realise that there is only 16 in that day, and not one that can make a decission.

Sixteen?? That means we will have to all turn up at something like 3.30 PM on a thursday, but anyone arriving at 4 o'clock will miss the fun.

Well, we do have guns but that right is slowly slipping from us too.

Perhaps we now know why. Who said FF can't forsee the obvious:D

It's very easy to decide what you are against, less easy to decide what you're for. (There was some discussion on the 'how accurate was The Wind That Shakes The Barley' thread.)

Look what happened after the massive 1979 PAYE marches....personally I wanted reform of the tax system as the PAYE workers were paying disproportionately more than the self-employed and the wealthy. I just wanted the burden shared - not just a tax cut for myself! After all, public services (this was before privatisation) still have to be paid for -gardai, hospitals, education, gas, electricity, telecommunications, sewage etc etc......AKA all those lazy public sector workers.

From here: Estimates of the number of people on the streets of Dublin yesterday varied from an official Garda figure of 60,000 to a figure of over 200,000 claimed by the organisers. An idea of the size of the giant demonstration can be gauged from the fact that the head of the march and the public meeting were well under way outside the GPO in O’Connell Street while contingents were still leaving Parnell Square on their way to Leinster House. At that stage, the march stretched up O’Connell Street, D’Olier Street, College Green, Dawson Street, St. Stephen’s Green, Merrion Row, Upper Merrion Street, Lincoln Place, Westland Row, Pearse Street, Westmoreland Street and back to O’Connell Street again.
....Even though the marches were about tax reform, tax cuts were the outcome, a policy put in place by the trade union movement, the employers, and FF.


Where's the wealth tax here? Why won't the govt bring in a tax similar to the UK bankers one?
