Economic Vandals

just ban the wearing of beards in public places and we will be on the road to economic recovery

Without trade unions there would be no healthy balance of power between employer and employee and employer's would basically be able to do whatever they want. However, perhaps the balance has shifted abit too much. The trade unions have amassed so much power and are motivated sometimes by sheer greed. The government, in the public sector, needs to grow some balls and stand up to them. The pharmacy strike was a great victory for the government. Let them sulk as long as they want, like an unruly child, they'll eventually have to come around and accept it.

Why? This IS boards.ie!

I don't care anymore, i'm long past caring. This country is so ****ed and will be for a long time to come.

Does the financial situation not tell people that the trade unions a needed now more than ever. Now that the old boys network are closing ranks on the general population, wanting to reduce the minimum wage. Additional taxes have being imposed on the weakest members of society, while the guys who caused the situation play golf and socialise with the politicians, who are bailing them out at massive expense to the state. And the union gets flac for standing up for the rights who have no one else to help them. Why would anyone try to persuade anyone that's a reasonable suggestion? Weird. :mad::mad:

Over 10,000 jobs lost in Ireland per month for almost a year because of these guys, and their punishment is a big fat pay off. Good god..

God forbid the politicians should become unpopular in their elitist social circle, just for the sake of standing up for whats right for their electorate, and whats right of course. Why should they bother? They won't lose their jobs for making a total mess either.

He got rid of threats to the stability of the State!!

This thread is a threat to the stability of AH.
I'm going to leave it though. I'm having a good laugh.

Dont forget..he was voted into power!

So were FF. What's your point?
Is it that the people get what they want?
Let me tell you something about the people getting what they want.
It never happens.

Politicians fool the people into thinking they are getting what the people want. Then the politicians go and do whatever they want and to hell with those who voted them into power.

I'll tell you what.
I'll run as an independent for the next general election.
I'll lower taxes, reduce the price of beer, take all Bono's money, build playgrounds everywhere and reduce the cost of child care, I'll increase children's allowance by 100%, I'll get rid of VAT on luxuries, I'll actually get rid of VAT altogether, I'll ban Big Brother, I'll ban soaps from being broadcast if a man is in the room, I'll get rid of the TV licence and Gerry Ryan, Pat Kenny, Joe Duffy et al, I'll make sure everyone has a job.

You'll vote for me, yes?

No?
you won't vote for me?
Ok. I'll create camps where all foreign people can go and I'll make them concentrate at these camps (STFU. Thread was Godwinned on the second post).

As a last resort, I'll remove the right to protest. Nobody will be allowed to join a union.
Those who do join will be shot on sight.
Is that cool with you?

Ok. Only landowners will be allowed to vote. Those who do not own land (including those with a mortgage (you are still paying for it)) are not allowed to vote.

Remember to vote early and vote often.
