So what would you put on the Table?

drunkmonkey

Seems the Government are putting everthing on the table at the moment to make €6 billion over the next 2 years...

Is there anything you'd like to put on the table they may have not?

I'd like to put a Weight Watchers cook book on the table.

I'm pretty sure our government may not have one of those.

Send all prisoners to the Arran Isle, and close the prisons - save a fortune,

Send all the Nigerians, and Pols who are on the Dole - home - save a fortune.

Anyone unemployed for more than 6 months kick off the dole, and ship to Arran as above.

We are heading for the day when eating meat as your main meal more than twice a week will be luxury.

Restaurants will be for the rich, hotels will once again be few and far between and only for rich tourists.

Drinking will not be done in pubs but imported cheaply, black market smokes and other necessities will be the order of the day.

People have to realise the standard of living is going to go down rapidly. The luxuries that were are not the luxuries of the future. For some people that luxury will actually be having a dry place to sleep and food in their belly.

"For the times they are a changing"

Bet your bottom dollar though the Dail bar will still be full and the politicians will eat a 3 course fully expensed lunch.

No one knows if they're going to have a job next week. Whats on my table today is no different luckily to what was on it last year. I doubt though i will be saying the same next year.

I never felt the joy of the good times so im not impressed about feeling the pain of the bad. Tax the rich, if there's any left to tax.

Simple charge all foreginers entering the country a tax, charge them more tax then standard to work here,and tax them every time they want to leave.

.........they tried it in the simpsons :pac: out of towner tax ~ Mayor Quimbie

Some fruit.

SV

Any of those suitable who are claiming dole and have free time should be put to work in the public sector as volunteers.(I know calling them volunteers defeats the point but you know what I mean)


I reckon that'd save a fair bit of money.

Loomis

A tax on the number of toilet breaks you take during work

I agree with you in principle but JUST as an after thought, would that not also put other paid worked out of work for something that they might have gotten paid to do.

Just a notion. I agree with you in the way your thinking.

What about Prison Officers? Closing prisons would force the majority of them on the Dole, then what?

Cut all social welfare payments after 12 months on the dole... bunch of scroungers anyways. Then harvest their organs on the medical black market.

Sell the children of single mother skangers to other countries, reducing crime and the bad investment in attempting to educate them.

Stop locking people up for being unable to pay their debts.

This would get rid of a more primitive aspect of the Irish legal system, not to mention the cost of keeping defaulters in the system.

Legalise drugs and tax them.
Plenty of money in drugs from what I hear.


Also consider storing other countries nuclear waste in Sligo for massive fees, as it's a fairly redundant county anyways.

ejmaztec

The Revenue Commissioners should stop sending forms out to tax-payers who are registered on the ROS system. When you're on the ROS system, everything's done online and you don't need the feckin forms. :mad: Will somebody think of the trees!

TwoShedsJackson

A Management Wank3r tax on phrases like 'blue sky thinking', and fining anyone who uses the word 'recession' a tenner.

As for not having meat more than twice a week soon, LOL.

This is incorrect
People arent locked for being unable to pay their debts. They are being locked up for not meeting the terms of a court order or an installment order. An installment order takes into account an individual's circumstances and in the event the individual's personal financial situation deteriorates even worse, they are entitled to return to court to have the order amended.

Retrain them as shark and crocodile trainers and put them around the islands with them.

Nothing until the goverment learns to stop ****ing wasting our money first. Throwing more money at them means more money they will squander because of the pathetic way they run things.I don't want my tax money going to massive pay outs and silly high pensions for incompetent idiots who have failed to do the job they were appointed to. Get rid of the rot first. .:mad: get the house in order first so then i'll know whatever extra i have to give will actually do some good.

Blitzkrieger

Take away all the goverment perks.

No expenses - you make enough money you greedy *****, put your hand in your own pocket.
No official cars - see above.
No official resisdence - see above.
No Garda escort/drivers - if you're unpopular enough to need one, you've probably weasled enough money to hire your own security.

I hope you lose your job, and cannot get employed for a few years. I also hope that the person who takes your job is a Nigerian/Pole.

We could fine all CEO's of the banks involved in reckless lending. No wait, that's a bad idea, we need to reward these people, right?

The Saint

Eat the unemployed.

This would save money on welfare payments and man they taste delicious spit roasted with an apple in their mouth. I think I'd better find a job quick when I finish college or else I could end up as someones supper.
