LOL, Ireland tea-partiers! Half the country refuses to pay new property tax of only $130!
Interesting is sounds like previously they had no property tax, at least not a national one? Property taxes seem to be rare in Europe, I guess they have enough other taxes. LOL
These Euro countries are still in a financial mess with no growth.

Debt-mired Ireland is facing a revolt over its new property tax.

The government said less than half of the country's 1.6 million households paid the charge by Saturday's deadline to avoid penalties.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

And Japan just lowered their corporate tax rate. So now America is #1 in highest tax rate.

You're comparing apples to oranges when you compare the US tax rate to European countries. For their higher tax rate, the government provides additional services (such as healthcare) that the U.S. doesn't provide.

What do you mean by "white people." Why does the race have anything to do with the protesting of property taxes. And don't come back with a stupid retort "well Ireland is almost all white" because I already know that (Ethnic backgrounds: Irish: 96.7%, Asian: 0.3%, Black: 1.1%, Other/Mixed: 0.1%, Not Stated: 1.7% (2006)) and it's evident. So evident that I'm curious of why you framed your comment that way (and I'm curious why no one else here even caught that and questioned you).

Because we all know how RT operates, and it's not worth the bother - just look at his nic. Half the s**t he says he doesn't believe, and much like you, he just does it to annoy certain people. Hell, he's even been certified !

Missed ya RT, it's nice to have ya back (as long as you're not stayin', you're best in small doses!)! rofllol

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

I don't know him as a commenter here... I don't think I've seen any comments from him since I sign up... and I don't know how he operates... but I draw the line at outright racism.

And a nic doesn't tell me anything... comments do... take your nic...

If you want to get to know a poster, all you have to do is search their previous posts and notice their pattern of behavior. A person's nic tells you a lot about what they think of themselves. Your nic indicates that you care most about politics, and being a contradiction, which is evident by the fact that you hardly ever leave the Courthouse, even though there's a lot more to 285Bound than this one forum.

RT loves to do the drive-by, single sentence slams of liberals and to goad people. He thrives on being a troll. I've never really seen anything blatantly racist from him, but don't get him going on gays...
