From left: Eddie Hobbs, Lucinda Creighton, David Fitzgerald and Senator Paul Bradford at the Renua think in at Woodquay Centre, Dublin yesterday
So some wealthy folk reckon that,
The rates of our tax should be flat,
And the wise Mr Hobbs,
Thinks this would create jobs,
But what are the chances of that?

Marvellous idea but not a hope in hell of being accepted and introduced.
Its been shown time and time agian that trickle down economics benfits only those at the top. This hobbs bloke is a clown. An absolute muppet. He could not be any more muppet if he was made of foam and had a hand up his bottom.
Just look at the list of countries with flat taxation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_tax) – Saudi Arabia, Russia, Turkmenistan, Bulgaria, East Timor…. No wonder Ganley is so hot for it.
Look’ah EUcinda there…
Trying t’look absorbed and serious
Who does she think she’s codding
Spotted that too.
And it’s ripe for a x-rated photoshopping too!

“Those shirts are not blue, they are grey”.
Her broadside exposed their foul play.
The whip that she lost,
Might well be their cost.
Her new party, she hopes, will hold sway.

Flat taxes, while superficially attractive (like Lucinda?) are really not any sort of solution, being essentially punitive on the lower paid while benefiting disproportionately the better paid (like VAT). If flat taxes were a panacea, wouldn’t other countries have brought them in?
When hobknobbing in the nappeyvalley of Irish politicians please remember to:
Fold arms
Stroke chin
Recline in seat
Purse thin lips
Lean forward
Raise eyebrows
David Fitzgerald you
Say?
