Ireland’s low corporate tax rate.
For years now Ireland has attracted large corporations to its shores by having, at 12.5% the lowest tax rate in the developed world. This cynical ploy has enabled Ireland to steal tax revenues from more responsible nations and to massage its economy so it looks richer than it actually is. It’s really a legalised form of money laundering.
The good new is that now it looks as if it’s coming to an end. President Biden, that true born son of Ireland, God’s own phoney Irishman, is pushing for a global minimum corporate tax rate of 21 per cent. That won’t matter much to France (28 per cent), or Germany (30 per cent) or the UK (19 per cent). But it will destroy Ireland’s economic model.
On top of Irish Joe’s initiative there is also pressure from the EU. The EU has Ireland’s low corporate tax in its sights. The EU is now saying that if Ireland’s wants a share of the EU Coronavirus rescue fund it will first have to raise its corporate tax rate and, in effect, destroy the competitiveness of its own economy.
The Irish are trying to resist by arguing that as a small nation it should be allowed to have a low corporate tax model to offset the advantages enjoyed by larger economies. But Ireland is a member of the World’s largest single market, something they were always crowing about during Brexit, so this makes no sense.
The Irish are trapped. The only way they can keep their precious, thieving corporate tax rate is by leaving the EU and, like the UK, become a sovereign nation again. Shakespeare had a phrase for the current Irish predicament- they are “hoist by their own petard”.
Ireland’s low corporate tax rate is a cunt. As for the Irish, well Father Ted said it well when he was trying to show he was not racist against the Chinese –
‘The Irish……a great bunch of cunts”.

The irish have not been a good neighbour to the UK. When they were going down the tubes we lent them £30 billion. How did they repay the favour? By making Brexit as tough as possible along with all their EU chums.
It is also the home of tax dodgers PayPal and Ebay who pay little on their massive UK earnings.
Karma.

They will have to chase rainbows. 😂
Leave the EU, join the UK economic area and enjoy the benefits of freedom 😉

Fuck that. With the government we’ve got we’d end up subsidising the cunts like we do Scotland.

Spot on Moggie!
But but what does Mr Blancmange now propose to do? Answer : shove yet more moolah to that dreadful bitch in Edinburgh to spaff away on yet more freebies in an effort to ‘preserve the Union’.
The very opposite needs to happen to concentrate minds that free prescriptions/ free university/ free childcare etc can’t continue to be paid from the bottomless pit of Westminster to ungrateful MSP cunts. The SNP are no more than a protest party that’s got our hand and come the Referendum I can guarantee they’ll stay put.

Nice analysis. What needs to happen with the Scottish Question is to fire up another referendum PDQ – but let the English vote in it as well. That’ll guarantee we’ll get rid of them sponging off the English taxpayers.

What are we supposed to do apart from shit ourselves laughing?
I’ve got no sympathy here. We shouldn’t hinder, but we don’t much owe Ireland anything either. This is the EU they joined and they have no desire to leave. Their problem, not ours.
Ditto EU fishing boats taking EU fish from EU waters.

Hoisted by their own retard…
Fuck them.🖕

Biden can fuck off. What corporation tax a nation sets is fuck all to do with him. BJ should lower corporation tax to 15%. We will have companies queuing to get in and sleepy dementia boy joe can swivel the little marxist cunt.
If the oirush had a brain they would leave the eu but the stupid fuckwits are trapped. How dare the eu tell anyone what their tax should be. Oh but wait,whoops how foolish of me, the paddies signed up to being told what to do. Sorry shamrock lickers but you’re fucked.

My thoughts exactly.
What fucking business is it of Plastic Paddy Biden what rate each country sets its corporation tax at? This is down to different countries with different economic models and and industrial aspirations, not some dementia-ridden, mumbling, stumbling old Demonrat cunt in the US of A.
Why 21% – all seems rather arbitrary to me?
I suspect few will take notice of the senile old shitstain. Ireland, although a country run by a bunhc of teashop cunts has little to fear from the long, bony finger of Cadaver Joe.
18
The EU will fuck them over though. They do have power over Ireland.
15
Fuck Biden.
Ireland has been a thorn in the side of the union since well before I was born – they hate us but want all the money and advantage of being in a real economy and Country instead of a backwards dump run by terrorists. (Sound familiar?)
Can’t have your soda bread and eat it Ireland, and the Irish doing everything they could to stop Brexit and carve out a favourable remainer deal for themselves has left a rather bitter taste with me.
Th UK should really piss China Joe off by lowering corporate tax across the UK to 10% – which we can legally do – and watch even more companies leaving the high tax, high regulation economy that is the US.

I wonder if all those fat Septics who voted for the hair sniffer will still think he’s the Messiah after a couple of years stood shivering in a socialist bread queue.
Or a re-education camp…

Fuck the Irish, fuck the EU and fuck Uncle Joe Scramblebrains.
Grow a pair Boris and tell the cunts to go and fuck themselves.

Oh come on. Oirreland has much more to offer than that.
Bitterness, appalling dentistry, constant rain, car bombs, and homósexual giants of literature.

Sad day when we are spitting on a country for having low tax rates, even if it is Ireland.
Taxation is not a god given right of government and when did the world get a say on sovereign nations tax rates?
Good old Joe picks on Ireland whilst China fucks the US every which way. In the US right now a lot of businesses are unable to hire staff because Joe’s spending trillions paying people not to work.
Everything that Democrat presidents have done since Carter has handed more economic power to communist China.

I’ve long since left to join the diaspora, so a bit out the loop, but I recall that we totally lost the plot when they started building holiday homes and tarmacing every field between one backwater village and the next, connecting tribes of hairy-eared yokels who would normally only leave the parish to belt seven shades out of each other at the GAA meet.
Then the recession hit and the houses were left empty, until the Dub cunts in their wisdom decided to fill them with a new wave of Blacks and Tans, if you catch my drift, so to speak, as it were.

I hope Ireland sinks into the Atlantic.

That’d certainly give us something new to sing about, to be sure

Some strong rope, a tight knot and maybe it could take Scotland with it.

Sounds like a good plan^

Inquest today ruled that the Ballymurphy (cannot be arsed to look up the exact number) were innocent victims. I don’t doubt the findings of an inquest that started in 2018 ffs.
If everything that happened back then is to be forensically examined then let’s go the whole way and look at the people who ordered the murder of British soldiers -Adams and associated shits and the US government who allowed Noraid (not an offshoot of Oxfam ) to collect money which was used to murder men,women and children for decades.
There are many people who need to answer questions and few of them,if any are British soldiers.

Exactly. The Province was on a war footing.

Biden is a cunt. I bit fucking rich telling everyone else what to pay in tax when he has just massively raised the taxes in the US.

They need that low tax revenue to keep the natives calm. Especially as they’ve gone back to their favourite pastime of knocking the shit out of each other.
C & P at it again.
“Shaun, get the jolly we fiddle out…. and push it through some fuckers head!”

Old Joe, the eu made for each other. To be sure…

Honestly – fuck ‘Em. Car bombing pro EU twats.
How many dead for independence ? and then they they fuck off to Europe so they can be ruled from abroad – really ? No wonder we call them bog trotting scum.
Fuck off and take that tax dodging cunt Bono with you.
