This all breaks down to economics. And at the moment the socialist party is just being ignorant.

Firslty, may I say that I am a socialist. I want to see an Ireland, that is free from equality. An Ireland with a health service like in france. Public transport like in Germany. School and universities like in finland and norway.

But all of this can only be created by, money. This money has to come from some where. The present situation, of the money beig funded in the form of double taxation is wrong.

This money should be coming from the upper and middle classes, in the form of progressive taxation. But this will piss them off? As can be seen in Venuzeala. That is really what Tony Blair is at in the UK. I belive he is a socialist at heart. But he knows that you cannot do anything, without keeping the middle classes onside. That is why he is talking aboout all that bullshit concerning foundation hospitals.

Yes corporation tax needs to be increased in Ireland, it is too low. But you cannot increase ten fold, as some socialiat party members suggest. As then you will not have any job creation. You will have massive unemployment, and then you will spend all your time in power dealing with unemployment problems, not ridding the inequailty which exists now.

We should be modeling our society on france. But they even have to pay for private medical care
