Irelands biggest tax cheat Denis O'brien pays fuck all tax.
The horsey set are not taxed for fees for stallion breeding.
A fee for a good horse can be €100,000 + no tax great for some
Clown says everything is on the table yet horse breeding never mentioned
Peter Bacon has recommended that rich investors who built too many fucking hotels in the first place should be allowed sell off the hotels early without paying back revenue any generous tax breaks that they claimed.
Great fucking country this, when is the revolution taking place ?????
I agree as with all these charges they bring them in low and then hike them up so it is only 50 cent now then it will be 75 cent a Euro etc etc
Part of the problem with at least some medical cards is if the person is borderline on the income threshold they get the card on a discretionary basis if they have a medical complaint and they have to reapply each year if they don't "use" the card enough during the year then it will be removed the following year as they don't need it.
People want to hold on to the card especially older people who are afraid they might get sick at any time and on a fixed income could not afford doctors, prescriptions and drugs.
So they get prescriptions they don't need to show the HSE they need the card.
Its the Crips and the Bloods all over again
