Friday July 10, 2009 10:17 by Vincent O'Malley - WSM - WS 110 wsm_ireland at yahoo dot com
On RTE news on 18/5/09, Mary Hanafin stated, in her usual Orwellian fashion, that the Department of Social and Family Affairs (DSFA) had now provided a financial incentive to encourage those under 20 to go into training or education. This ’financial incentive’ involved cutting the dole to €100 per week for new claimants under the age of 20. The state considers that €204.30 per week is the basic minimum income for a single adult to survive. If you are applying for a social assistance payment or a medical card and are currently in receipt of an income less than that, the DSFA or the HSE will usually presume that you have another undeclared income or means of support; and refuse you a payment. So, those under 20, who can fight, and possibly die, for their country, are not deemed worthy of the basics of survival. |

We are releasing this statement in response to the latest proposal by the 26 county administration at Leinster house to cut dole payments for the 500,000 or so unemployed citizens within the 26 county free state. Le Cheile Saor feel outraged at this plan, as do the majority of citizens who are currently unemployed. The plans by the 26 county government are to reduce their welfare budget by 1.5 million over the next twelve months. We ask why target the most vulnerable to make savings when family’s across the island are struggling to make rent and mortgage payments. We ask the ministers with their expensive cars and cushy wages to try and make ends meet on €204.30 a week with mouths to feed and bills stacked up, this is disgraceful on their part and should be ashamed of themselves. Le Chéile Saor also want to point out that with the pressures of living through this recession, we are worried suicide cases will soar with family’s under immense pressure to pay off stacked up bills. The 26 county free state has the second highest unemployment rate in Europe at 12%, not something they should be proud of. Le Chéile Saor intend to oppose these proposals to the best of our ability and highlight to the public and especially those in Leinster house that this is totally unacceptable.
Statement Ends.

Angry dosent come close.
I propose that we lobby politicians to impose a 'Maximum Wage', for the wealthy. Say 10 million or 20 million...the rest could be taxed at the rate of 100% per individulal,
Reel in the obscenely rich like Bono, U2, O'Reiley, O'Learey, Sutherland, etc..... Any earners in the 'extreme' range could have their passports removed if they dont comply, sort of a forced taxation that the rest of us must comply to.
