I fully support Independent TD Thomas Pringle's call on people to support a campaign not to pay this hideous Household Charge (Poll Tax!!!). Mr Pringle says he will not register for the tax, nor will he pay it. Well done Thomas Pringle :-) At last we have we have some principled TDs in An Dáil Éireann who are prepared to suffer personally for their beliefs they know are in Our Country's And People's best interests. Well done Thomas Pringle, and Socialist TD Joe Higgins and Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh who've also said they're not paying our Poll Tax and who are calling on us the ordinary folk not to pay it either. Socialist TD Joe Higgins is dead right when he told Dá Furher Enda Kenny that the charge will be greeted by a mass public boycott, similar to the boycott of water charges in the mid 1990s. Joe Higgins is also spot on when says the Government could source funding for local services by refusing to pay over €1bn to unsecured Anglo bondholders in January. The draconian fines of €2500 for non-payment of the Household Charge (Poll Tax!!) is a disgraceful campaign of intimidation, but they will not work. Please listen to Age Action who say the charge will put hardship on older people who are already struggling. Age Action say the vast majority of older people own their homes, and over half of older people are dependent on the State pension. This Household Tax will start off at €100 per year now, but will soar to €1200 a year by 2014 according to reliable reports :-( And all to pay for zombie banks. Let's get the message out loud and clear: "We're Not Paying The Household Charge!" |
