Can we make a list of how much more expenses we have now - so far I can think of The "Household" Charge The "Broadcasting" Charge How else are they deciding to drain us.

They're also bringing in a new ejaculation tax I believe.
Enda will have his face near your missus's bush to calculate the amount of spunk ejaculated.

Just try not to get his face, he loves that.

dont forget to subtract the TV Licence charge, as the broadcasting charge will replace that

I'm surprised that someone with your username forgot the water charge, although you did mention "drain".

The Broadcasting charge is a disgraceful proposition - I have no TV, and for a good reason: the programming is either rubbish or so ad-adulterated that the programmes become unwatchable. We choose to buy/rent films & boxsets and
watch them through a projector. What next!

That's only a rumour, you're a little premature with that one.

You can become a "thanks exile" by posting through a proxy server and claiming that your posts were posted abroad and thus tax exempt.

A charge for anytime you say 'sorry'. Since Irish people say 'sorry' a lot its going to be a particularly expensive tax.

Maybe you can get a "willingness to pay taxes" tax break.

It would also make sense to tax us for the cost of printing English signs in a clearly Irish speaking country

I hear if it's with another person then they absorb it- on your own it's self assessed
