    Tbh, your posts are starting to read like a man who paid up out of fear, but now regrets it, and now increasingly tries to convince himself he's did the right thing.

    I'm close, ain't I?:cool:

    I read somewhere that you can feed a family of five for 12 euro a week in Somalia. If there are many more taxes and cuts here then i'm sending mine out there.

    No but a lot of people that claim to be broke do so while playing with their iPhone puffing away on twenty a day and going out on the beer two nights a week. I put paying my taxes ahead of a few beers at the weekend and ahead of a nice new phone but others choose to do the opposite

    Thats exactly what a few TV pundits said on TV3 recently to a lady who rang in and mocked anyone who hadnt paid yet.

    She admitted that she had paid on the last day out of fear,and the pundits more or less had a field day with her,with regards her trying to mock the people who hadnt and wouldnt pay.

    Morals???:D

    Way off sorry. I don't regret paying it and I know I did the right thing because I knew I had to pay it so would only have ended paying more than was necessary which would've been the wrong thing to do

    A Donegal woman rang the Guards to report that her home had been broken into. The only problem was the Gardaí did not have any patrol vehicles to respond to the call. The woman had to go to the Garda station and collect a Garda and then return home with the Garda so he could investigate the incident.

    With services like this the people of Donegal are dead right not to pay the household tax.

    you forgot about the fact that now you'll have to pay an extra €500 for the fire brigade to stop your house burning down, even though we were already paying it in our taxes, and now as part of the "services" provided by the household charge.

    "Donal go into town and pay that charge today, I don't want the Sheriff calling out here and giving out to us in front of the kids, hurry on now. You must have the money in that savings jar you keep under the bed. AND don't be looking at those new phones in the Meteor window, your not getting one"

    I think his point was that no matter what taxes and charges we pay the money is not going into services anyway. The bondholders are getting it. BUT you knew that anyway, didn't you ?

    We keep hearing big phil say the household charge is for local services, one would think the local garda station, the local guards there to help people if needed would be a part of local services.

    The point being made, as you well know, is that all these extra taxes and charges are just resulting in services being slashed.

    The money is being used to pay off unsecured bondholders as we seen this week.

    http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=unsecured%20bondholders%20paid%20in%20june&source=web&cd=4&sqi=2&ved=0CFAQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stephendonnelly.ie%2Ffeatured%2Farticle-paying-e1-1bn-to-bondholders-is-con-job%2F&ei=QFbzT7SoM9GYhQfZt7GLDw&usg=AFQjCNHOoK4lJLguRZsPv57Yt6FpQh50zw


    It's all a con job and some people like being conned.

    That is a bit silly now in fairness, garda stations have nothing to do with local services. That is what the garda budget is for.

    donal and dv, its simple, most of the popualtion are like the department of finance up the a point, the department owes a rather large moxey, what do they do, naturely the apply for a loan which they promise to repay, they recieve it, how do they intend to repay it, they charge people taxes, QED, now the people are like the department they owe a small moxey, how do they repay it, they apply for a loan, which they promise to repay, how do they repay it, they dont as the money lender showes them the middle finger and tell them to swivel, then the department tell the public that they have invented more taxes to pay off more loans, which they must pay, so the public can only do one thing, what is that i hear you asking, the answer that they recieved when they asked for the loan.

    I think that some people are getting it mixed up with the UK's council tax, all this tax is for is paying (some of) the interest on the bankers bail out!:mad:

    If i have to cancle my house phone they have to cancle there phone expenses, if i have to cancle my sky they shouldnt e able to get silk fuggin ties!

    Just as im expected to stop having a normal life to pay extra tax, they should be equaly responsible to stop livng such lavish life styles to lighten the load. Fair is fair

    I really dont know how anybody with any kind of cop on can so easily hand over money for extra taxes knowing that such wastes of money are still in practice, the "country" has no surplus money, its in debt yet the people telling us we need your money to get it out of trouble, spend money as if the tiger is roaring strong.
