rob us again please

Keep business open for overcharging

As most ordinary people are well aware there has been a huge increase in prices and people are being Ripped off since the in introduction of the Euro. Young people are told its wrong to rip off music from big companies using Napster etc, but its perfectly ok for business to legally rob the consumer.
I see the Greek public is not so placid as the overcharged and ripped off Irish public. They have been out on the streets protesting about the overcharging by business since the introduction of the rip off Euro. It is strange the No campaigns have not made this an issue in the referendum as ordinary people on the streets are talking about it. Perhaps this is because it does not effect middle class and well heeled as much. Even the moderate consumers association have complained about this daylight robbery of the people by business. Maybe Ibec should change their flashy poster from “Vote Yes and keep us open for Business” to the more truthful: “Vote Yes and keep us open for overcharging”
