Scaling income tax

I earn 30k a year, therefore I pay 10% inc tax
I earn 50k a year, therefore I pay 15% inc tax

etc. etc.

tax u2 etc, they aren't paying anything at all are they.

i would tax the horse racing industry, they aren't paying any tax either at the moment.

I would seriously reduce the TD's wages including Cowen's.

And I would fire half the administrators in the government departments and hospitals.

Ok that's four. I have loads more, but anyway not my decision :(:(

Thank god its not your decision as you have it arseways.:P
U2 can't be taxed here as they don't have their business comany here, but in Holland, so thats are non -goer.

The horse racing industry does pay taxes, but is exempt in some areas namely stud fees etc, but they don't get away scott free. You are misinformed about this industry like many.

and re; the hospital admins etc, if you had it your way, the whole medical system would grind to a halt but yet you'd be one of the first to complain if you were on a 10 year waiting list to have your big toe seen too:rolleyes:
