The truth of the matter is the low hanging fuit will be picked from the tree first. Just another tax which will be avoided by those who can.
There are no shortage of forigen nationals who pay all their taxes, why the need to introduce petty racisism?

If you can pay it, pay it, how they expect people to pay the fine if they cant pay the 100 euro in the first place is idiocy and can only be described as scaremongering of the highest order.

Can any of the "pro household tax and water rate" or troll posters like bishop, ian64 and black tell me how much the government is earning by charging every plane that flies over irish air space?

Is it an offence to urge and campaign, that people should break the law?

Although i disagree completely with the water charge i too feel that i will be paying it. Too busy to attend court and all that. Anyway, i'll just cut back spending elsewhere, to offset whatever it costs now and in the future.

Anyway, does anyone find that "Uproar-osity" is inversely proportional to the amount of money we get shafted for? The conspiracy theorist in me seems to think so! Are we mad or what??!!

Rosa Parkes...... is she from Parke's Castle in Sligo?


Rosa Parks?
Never said that.
History will be written by the victors. , so best to leave the annals aside for a while.

I have no isssue in declaring a vested interest, i have a vested interest in seeing my country recover and in protecting it from the worst excesses of the looney left "something for nothing-you pay for me" brigade.
As for your sniggering, i am minded of the old expression "what you expect from a pig but a grunt".

So I make some spelling mistakes, thats hardly a crime. Unlike encouraging other to become tax evaders, which is a crime!

Damn and Blast!
Cant find the bit in the Charter and posting rules that says you can only post if your grammer and spelling are correct!
Obviously however, so long as you spell check your messages then no matter how economically illiterate and politically bankrupt your postings are, you must be right!
And everyone who doesn't agree with you must be a FG member.
