    Aaaa... no.

    They're about the only hope unfortunately as our own government are still too busy feathering their nest to give a flying f**k about the country. It's either the IMF or meltdown.......

    I wish I hadn't watched the programme. I was nice & relaxed before I did & now I'm fuming. Our politicians are so far divorced from reality, it's f*cking scarey.

    no our politicians are perfectly in touch with reality i believe.
    they know only too well they have their nice cosy "jobs", their plush state cars and their index linked pensions to look forward to.

    sadly their reality and that of the average guy in the street seldom meet.

    they realise only too well that if they give joe soap a few meaningless stats, and the prospect of an upturn in our economic fortunes, poor old joe will probably re-elect them to office.

    welcome to REALITY.:eek:

    No no its Enda's new plan to get votes.

    "Vote Enda and get a free Icecream"

    But the craft B****rd is at it again. Turns out what he doesnt tell you is that its 1 ice cream for the registered voters. Not one icecream per registered voter.

    But in all seriousness if he gets in.. which is likely, he'll sink the country. And I know FF have made a balls of it, but Enda will put the country under, like under under.

    As much as it might be crazy to say, I honestly reckon it's time for a Labour government in this country. Though by no means angels themselves, they are our best alternatives

    They'll higher the 12.5% corp tax rate. If they do that KPMG Intel and Mircosot will leave.

    They supply 80% of the governments revenue in PRSI PAYE

    Well given a choice between Fianna Fail, Fine gael and Labour, it's not worth voting. I'll stay at home and have a **** instead.

    Once again this country has been bankrupted by FF. I dont think you can get any more "under" then that.
    FG/LABOUR or whoever can do no worse then this current shower.

    Its goin to be a great day when FF get the slaughtered in the election!

    They wont give a def answer on it. Its all hmmm and hawing.

    Thats not a risk I'll take.

    Anyone that comes to my door looking for votes, and they wont give me a definite "we will fight tooth and nail to keep Ireland out of a EU level corp tax rate" or a definite and simple "NO we will not raise it" I stay the hell away from.

    Asked them at the last elections when they came a knocking

    Microsoft KPMG and Intel pay their corp tax on world wide income through Ireland. It might not be exactly 80%, but it follows the basic 80 20 rule of most things.

    Meh, spoiling a vote can always be fun. We could write this on our ballot slips;

    "They'll higher the 12.5% corp tax rate. If they do that KPMG Intel and Mircosot will leave.

    They supply 80% of the governments revenue in PRSI PAYE".

    Ok and Im leaving some other big companies out.

    Google, PWC SCF (They pay 12.5% on well over a billion a year in Irl) - and alot of other multi nationals. But these multi nationals covered circa 80% of what comes in the door.

    They all stay because of the corp tax rate

    yep labour will cosy up to their over-paid public sector union buddies whose inefficiency & incompetence contributed in no small way in getting us into this mess, and who are now bleeding us dry.

    they will create another few dozen quangos to look after those that lost their jobs, pour more money into the likes of An FARCE.

    Lab are great for a good sound-bite but i'm totally unconvinced of their "STRATEGY" forgetting us out of this mess.

    LAB would be a serious mistake imo.
