    As far as I can see their ideology is to take from the rich and give to the poor, Communism really. They had a guy on the Frontline once giving out to Bill Cullen that he had too much money. I am not a huge fan of Dr. Bill but i do recognise that he went out and worked his b0llox off for everything he has. Why should he give all his money to someone who never did a tap.

    Im sure they make decent councillors as they are always out protesting about some local issue but it would be doomsday if they where to take charge of the country.

    70% tax rate on 100k earners. Ok. What about employers? How manu of these PbP ****tards actually employ a tax paying person? More sense out of my recently departed woof.


    Absolutely ridiculous statement.

    Not all people earning over 100k are responsible for the economy crashing and a lot of them are people that worked hard to gain the positions they have gained and deserve the wages they are paid.

    I think you are reading his post wrong. I don't think he wants 70% tax.:D

    Boyd Barrett used to show up in school in tartan punk trousers, sticking it to 'the man' even back then..

    His school was on Ailesbury Road, D4.

    That is all.

    A bit like Joe Strummer who often song about his hate for the upper classes yet he himself went to private school and sent his kids to private school. He was a genius though so ill let him away with it.

    To quote Churchill "Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery".

    The Swedes never listened.

    Boyd-Barrett wants to nationalise all of the banks and buy up all of the empty houses in Ireland to just give away for free. After that furore about that family getting evicted for not paying their rent for a year, who Boyd-Barrett supported. I guess he doesnt believe that people shouldnt pay rent for these free houses either. He is a loon.

    Err, the banks are virtually nationalised already. Something about socialising the losses but privatising the profits.
