I mean lets say FF FG Lab is declared bankrupt would you care as less as you do here or because it is someone from FF FG LAB etc hey should be hung drawn and quatered. Has Wallance done some work in various scandals? Yes Should that protect him from been outraged in relation to his taxes, pensions and bankruptcy? NO

He still hasn't paid his share of taxes. That's not being socially conscious!

kbannon wrote: » OK then. Answer my question then Would you turn up to a wedding in a tee shirt? Or court? Or a job interview? I don't expect a suit. I do expect that he looks smart and respectful. His "socialist" comrades can do it, why can't he? However how he dresses does affect how he shows respect. Would you keep your job in Tesco if you didn't wear your uniform? What about being a teacher or a garda or GP?
Alondra Strong Tomb wrote: » What does it matter how I would dress at any of those events? Either I say "no I wouldn't" and somehow that automatically invalidates my point, or I say "Yes I would" which also somehow invalidates my point. He isn't attending a wedding, court room or a job interview, he's attending work. Would you live in light house if your name was Tom? How he dresses does not have any effect on "respect" (why that's important is another point). It only has an effect on your perception of respect, which is really stupid. He also doesn't work as a Guard, GP, teacher or in Tesco. What's the uniform of a GP or teacher anyway? Should I get upset if my teacher or GP wears a polo shirt? His clothes are fine, if only more would move away from image and focus more on abilities and traits.

A sitting Health minister got named in Stubbs Gazette for defaulting on his debts, and our current finance minister was embroiled in defrauding our Exchequer for almost ten years, but sure at least they dress in suits? Some people need to take a long hard look at themselves.
kbannon wrote: » If you're referring to me, I responded to a post about suits. I also mentioned about how he managed to give his brother his vineyard and also how he didn't pay the VAT and pensions. I also believe that he had a grudge against Cerberus and this is what motivated his actions against NAMA. However, for some reason people fixated on comments regarding his looks. The man is a former property developer, and no different to any of the others who helped bollix up this country. He is in no way better than Reilly.

He paid out a lot of money including a 10% tax to the state on the wages he paid out ( Employers PRSI). I for one will b slow to knock him. Can the Wallace Bashers on this thread ask themselvs honestly "how many jobs they have created." I already know the answer, because if they knew how difficult it is to even create one job, they would not be Wallace Bashing the way they are.
