The fu@ker doesn't even pay tax

Donald Trump

Peter Casey on Marian Finucane show on the radio now



Admitted that he's not tax resident in Ireland


Bragging about how he has a Green Card and how little he has to pay over in the US towards their medicare etc.

Sorry for hurting your feelings with the truth about your hero :pac:


The man has a house in Donegal which he lives in for part of the year.

Has businesses here. Takes money out of the country.

Just makes sure he gets out for enough days so that he doesn't have to contribute to the costs of running the country. Then has the cheek to run for President.

I think cunt is a fitting description

Topping the poll in rathkeal haha

Loving the username.
And how many Boardsies who would have the opportunity would do the exact same for themselves?

Kuva

These are features of country tax systems for the rich to avail of.

Not new.

Same argument could be used to "justify" how many people play the system to get dole and benefits and free houses....................

Mrs OBumble

I hear he did a good job in encouraging the Travelling community to exercise their right to vote, though.

He's a green card holder Donnie, you would think you'd know how your own tax system works man.

Also.

Love how the tax exile millionaire has become the hero of the down trodden taxpayer.

McMurphy

He made me almost 550€ via paddy power.

The man can do no wrong in my eyes.

Gonna donate the cash to Pavee Point later.

Everyone's a winner baby that's no lie.

That none of the so called Dragons was willing to open their books probably indicates some fear of what would be seen and how it would look to the ordinary Joe's who they claim to represent.

This isn't news to anybody who followed the debates .

The cheek of him, complaining about people on welfare, how about you contribute to the welfare burden, like the rest of us Peter.

I suppose you could just argue that he plays the system to his advantage.




If he wasn't as internationally mobile, he'd probably just have to settle for a free house and free dole every week :pac:

People had said it. But it was the first time I heard him personally bragging about it. And how much he paid to the US medicaid system. This was part of a conversation where he blustered about about people on trolleys and the Irish health system being underfunded

Yes, he does.

I'm generally suspicious of wealthy businessmen that want to take their country out of the EU. The most obvious benefit for them is the erosion of worker's rights and the removal of regulations that keep consumers safe.

Glad he didn't win. He's not worthy of the role of President.

Casey’s traveller comments recap

He disagrees with them being recognized as a ethnic minority.

Says they avoid tax and that house prices drop when travelers move onto an area.

Says they camp on other ppl’s land.

Says the Tipperary situation with travelers demanding stables with their new houses is ridiculous.

Quote:

He cited an ongoing dispute in Tipperary where six new homes are lying empty in a €1.7m development because families living on an unauthorised site nearby are refusing to move in until they get stables for horses.

“I mean how ridiculous have we become as a society where they are turning down beautiful, four-bedroom houses because there’ll blackmailing the county council into giving them stables for their horses.

“I’m sorry, there’s something seriously wrong with society when we’re at that stage,” Mr Casey said.

Nothing overly controversial there.

whiskeyman

He played the game and won.
Those who voted for him who think he's articulated what they are really feeling have been had in my opinion - he's the most inarticulate of all the candidates.
One of his previous interviews before his controversial comments was a bumbling mess.

He's stirred the pot and ran away with the honey.

Do you have something wrong?
I have read this post about ten times in different threads over the last 30 minutes.

Travellers probably pay more tax then Casey

If it's all legal and in the open, I don't have a problem with it. Does his company not employee people here, who pay tax, therefore don't need to go on welfare, ergo, vis a vis, concordantly, he is helping the system?

Jesus Christ how many more Peter Casey threads are there going to be set up all over the site?

Can't you ask that question in the 7000 strong post thread already set up?

Genuine question btw.

Well I was listening to it on the radio. So was going to post it so others could turn it on if they wanted to


Didn't know which of the other ones to put it into.


If there was only one up and running I'd have put it into that.


Others are, nominally, Exit poll, who are you going to vote for, Peter Casey and the travellers, who would you have voted for if not Casey. So it didn't really fit into either of those.


BTW, "Peter Casey and the Travellers" would be a good name for a band wouldn't it?

Ah sorry it's not a dig at you I'm just genuinely sick of seeing him plastered over the front page of Boards in 20 different threads.

Many people who maximise their welfare are also doing it legally but there's a huge issue with those. Millionaire games the tax system = grand. Someone games the welfare = scumbag.

I understand and agree. It's a pain in the hole to follow because it's split all over the place. The mods could merge though.





This one will probably sink to the bottom though. I didn't expect it to last beyond a few posts. Will be off the front page in an hour

What about the politicians who game that system by doing the same and hanging on for years past their sell by date?

Also leeches on the state coffers.

Michael D got elected by the people whether you like it or not. And again their salary from the state is legal and fully known.

Bono pays personal tax as he resides here, U2 (his company) dont.

Casey is the opposite, his businesses pay tax and he himself doesn't.

Theres a difference and both are fair game IMO. They both contribute more to the Irish economy than me, you or the entire membership of boards will in our lifetime.

...and dont tell me anyone on here wouldnt avoid tax legally if they could.

Fairly sure I seen Bono on Boards

Civil service is a much better racket. Get in and...well, that's it, you're sorted, Bob's yer uncle, job for life and guaranteed pension. Just relax from then on.
Maybe marginally less money than politics, but no reviews or targets and unless you murder someone, you're snug as a bug in a rug.

tretorn

Its called Double Taxation doh.

It’s perfectly legal.

If you are paying tax in a country Ireland has a double tax agreement with then you don’t pay tax in Ireland.

Joan Burton in her nasally whiny voice criticised Casey for not paying tax, she knows full well he is doing nothing wrong.

It deflects from the travellers living off taxpayers from the permanently occupied cradle to the grave.

Collie D

Would he have had to revoke his green card if elected? He said he would have but would it have been mandatory for him to do so?

Even ignoring the tax question I'm not sure it would sit right with me that someone on the path to citizenship of another state should hold the office of President.

President? Oh how lowly a position... I thought he was looking for a position of The Saviour of the Universe?

Get Real

He doesnt pay income tax, no. But he pays tax to this country through his business. More tax than I do from my income tax anyway.

On top of the jobs he created, and subsequent economic activity.

He might be saving x amount on income tax, but still contributes more to Irish coffers than the average Joe, so not sure if he can be criticised really.
