Name: Camille Loftus on Nov 22, 2010Comments: We need to get rebalance the process of getting the state's finances back in order. The poorest in society have already paid too high a price. Women in particular are suffering most from the cuts - they have to pick up the slack when public services are cut, they are more reliant on means tested social welfare because of the unpaid care they provide for children, older people, and people with disabilities, and women are over represented among the low paid, who have taken the biggest hit in terms of unemployment, wage cuts, and reduced hours.Flag

Name: Brendan Molloy on Nov 23, 2010Comments: In my opinion, this is a much fairer tax. But I would not get my hopes up. Fianna Fail will always protect and look after their wealthy cronies and friends. The sooner thay are gone the better and we can start re-building our broken country....Flag

Name: Nora Houlihan on Nov 23, 2010Comments: I would fully support a more equitable 'wealth tax' in preference to the suggested regressive 'property tax'. Not only would it be a more progressive tax, but I believe it would do less immediate damage to housing and property prices in Ireland.Flag

Name: Thomas Reidy on Nov 23, 2010Comments: Yes,its about time the government started taking the right approach by going after the wealthy,also I believe there should be a cap on politicians salary,i.e. Taoiseach 150,000,Ministers 125,000,Deputys 100,000 and all expenses to be on receipts only. Company C.E.O. salarys should be also capped with a tax rate of 80% on all incomes over cap.These are the people that has brought this country to its knees and should pay the price.Let them see whats its like raise a family on a couple of hundred euros per week. They say they are in politics to make a difference,yes they are, to line their own pockets. The Mayor of New York takes a salary of 1$ per year. This is somebody who wants to make a difference and in a city of almost three times the population of ireland.Reduce the number of Politicians,get rid of Senate,and half the number of county Councillors.Fianally do we really need a PresidentFlag

Name: Praxis on Nov 23, 2010Comments: People who are unemployed or those on average wages should not be subjected to a property tax or be forced to pay for the damage created by Fianna Fail, bankers, property developers & others. Properly tax those on high incomes & with assets such as those outlined above. Furthermore, corporate tax shoud be increased in line with other countries. Real changes are also necessary to ensure Ireland benefits from its own gas & oil and the following changes could be introduced: higher rates of taxation (Ireland has among the lowest returns to a state in the world); ensure the state gets a share of profits; enforce a requirement for supply to Ireland; State Direct Financial Interest (as in Norway); state participation in exploration and production through a state owned national company (NOC) - this NOC could work in partnership with an international oil company (IOC) & have their interest carried by the IOCs, as occured in the early days of Norwegian oil & gas industry. The Dept of Communications, Energy & Natural Resources estimates a potential 10 billion barrels of oil equivalent in the Atlantic Margin, West of Ireland. At current market prices this is valued in excess of €600 billion - and the Irish state will see little benefit from this potential wealth, with the real benefits accruing to the shareholders of oil companies. Rather than crippling those who are already struggling, make Ireland's resources benefit the country & make those who can afford it, pay.Flag
