    Tax on golf

    Always been surprised they let you buy return tickets. If you have to buy singles, you have to pay the credit charge twice (really hope he's not reading this thread!)

    Tax on talking, tax on listening to the pre-flight safety lecture (wouldn't put it past him)

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Twitter Tax, just to annoy the douchebags that use it more than anything. I'd like to see them rant about that in 140 characters or less

    A tax on paying tax.

    A hefty bloody tax on tracksuits and runners unless specifically worn for the purposes of sports related activities.


    /n.b running from the garda is not considered a sport/

    Tax on people who allow themselves to get into debt. I'm sick of all these people who allowed themselves to get up to the eyeballs in debt simply because the banks and credit card companies allowed them.

    Brain waves

    Anyone who had more that one convicition their dole is reduced by a %
    the more 'convicitions' the higher % the government take back

    Note slots in jails - for anyone found drunk and 'disorderly' (in someone else porch with bottle of cider), insert note opens door - magic
    Though the notes would have to be collected by outsourced company, otherwise local garda would use cash for lunches or 'petty cash' on fridays in coppers

    We should heavily tax the following

    1. Velour tracksuits (especially those stained with fake tan)
    2. Trackie bottoms with ass-writing like Candy/Juicy/You Wish/Abercrombie etc.
    3. Tartan shopping trolleys
    4. All Scratch cards
    5. Daily Sport, Star, Mail, etc
    6. Celtic Shirts
    7. Car pimping products such as dark window film, stove-pipe exhausts etc
    8. Sovereign Rings, gold chains, and other tat from Elizabeth Duke at Argos

    You have to pay the credit card charge per flight as it is. €5 one way, so it's €10 return.

    I pity the poor feckers who will incur even more tax by borrowing money to pay the tax on the money they borrowed in the first place..................... :eek:

    Child tax. Not just here but world wide. Will probably help with lowering the unsustainable population boom too. 2 birds 1 stone

    A tax on paying tax.
    I can't remember if you pay VAT on VRT or the other way around, but it's already being done.

    Tax on politicians expenses so they are treated as benefit in kind.

    A 150% tax on the financial gain for having bribed a politician,

    I'd tax apostrophes so people would think about their correct usage before typing.
