Not one of our governments in this country has ever understood that by reducing tax, more people can afford to spend money and they will spend it, boosting revenue. All Irish politicians understand is tax, tax, tax
The point of diminishing returns is well known by the government
Dean its a mixture of keynesian economics and their own relative stupidity.
“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
Ronald Reagan
They’ve made up for it since!
How little has changed. Still kick the public when they’re down.
Reagan was drinking a pint of Smithwicks, not a glass of stout
He wouldn’t have know the difference!
there was a little more to it than that. Inflation was out of control in 1984 and adding duties to the old reliables was seen as unhelpful. They went ahead with it anyway.
Anybody know the price of pack of twenty in 1984
75p I think!
Havent a clue … I always buy mine from Dave …
cant beat the ould black market!
10p on 75p is a bit stiff, it would be like adding 1.40 on to a pack today
Or a euro on a 2.20 € bus fare.
They weren’t scared about crucifying the self employed then with a high tax rate?
Irish governments in the last 10 years just live tax whether you have money or not. Probably the worst Republic in the world.
love tax ;)
have your say
