  1. Of course they do. Why not write it off what without being a worldwide pandemic that impacted everyone? A pandemic that meant governments had to shut down businesses and borrow money to provide welfare so a countries citizens could survive.

  2. Nothing is free. Everything has to be paid for. For every profit in one thing, payment in some other thing. For every life, a death. Even your music, of which we have heard so much, that had to be paid for. Your wife was the payment for your music. Hell is now satisfied.

  3. Two of them are carbon taxes which are very much needed and the other is a minimum corporate tax. Seems fairly reasonable.

  4. Greedy feckers , they can fuck right off on the last one. How about taking natrual resources that some countries have an advantage with.

  5. The US printed the majority of circulating bills in 2020, the bank of england also printed money in response to covid deficits, the EU presumably did the same. Why should there be a tax on money that was created to prop up the economy when the money is staying in that economy?

  6. Irish government : “people are fatigued with COVID news. We promise things will improve next year”

    RTE news: “let hit em with 38 years repaying debts on Christmas eve”

  7. >Polish climate minister Anna Moskwa told a meeting of EU ministers on Monday that the new carbon market was unacceptable as it would impose an increased burden on vulnerable citizens.

    Someone get this girl an Irish passport!

  8. >The third tax would give the EU budget a 15% share of the residual profits from large multinational companies that will be re-domiciled in EU countries under a G20 and OECD agreement on a re-allocation of taxing rights.

    Yeah that isn’t happening.

  9. 50bn lads, 50bn less to invest in health, housing, infrastructure etc. glad we had that mature discussion as a country as to whether the draconian restrictions we had were worth it.

    in before granny killer
