So the Irish government selfishly exploited the Tiger economy and in the process ruined it. Admittedly with a little help.

At least you're not alone...

Interesting post OP, and it bears relevance to my line of work.

It's astonishing that they're contemplating this. I haven't had much time to think about it yet, but what is their motivation for this?

This type of stuff has been going on for centuries, people need to wake up about it

Glad you're getting some use out of the urban dictionary!:D

Sorry I should have been clearer, I was referring to the last general election in the UK.

The article suggests that the political parties are financed by the Banks and other tax dodging elitist types. That they are the real puppet masters behind the government.
To what extent this is true? Now that's a scary question.
