Kevin Myers is at it again.
In his latest rant, he has called for the taxing of social welfare, the old age pension and children's allowance.
"We have a "universal social charge" which is not remotely universal. It is not levied on the dole, or social welfare, or children's benefits, or capital gains, and only partly on pensions."
Maybe its easy for someone like Myers to talk about increasing the hardship caused by the Universal Social Charge, rather than admit the need for a wealth tax. Not so easy for a struggling family with a over inflated mortgage on their heads. Not so easy for the 20% of Irish children who go to bed hungry every night. Not so easy for our young unemployed who are being forced out of their country by the conditions that the people at the top end of economic society created.
Its a wonder Myers didn't just blame the leaders of the 1916 Rising for the recession again.
