Today the government announced the details of the four year plan required as part of the ECB / IMF ‘bailout’ of the banks. There will be five billion worth of new taxes and 10 billion worth of cuts under this so called ‘National Recovery’ which in reality will take 10% out of GDP. As we show below almost all these costs are being dumped on workers, particularly low paid workers, the very sector that gained little or nothing during the boom years. the richest 1% are left with most of their legal tax dodges in particular the ability to avoid paying tax at all if they spend 6 months on holidays out of the country. Details of the cuts and how they target low paid workers while leaving the 1% untouched at http://www.wsm.ie/c/imf-ecb-four-year-plan-ireland This report outlines the cuts and where they are happening and who is paying for them (i.e. us) and they finish up with a call to join the 1% Network march. Next Saturday will see a major opportunity to demonstration your opposition to this plan. The ICTU has called a march through Dublin which will now be joined by many thousands of people. Join the 1% Network on the march who are demanding that the 1% must pay for the crisis and that workers must organise a general strike to force them to pay. Meet us at 11.30 outside the Lord Edward pub, across the road from Christ Church Cathedral. |

Jump To Comment: 1While the state continues to be rocked by the result of devastating effects of 10 years of rampant capitalism crashing the focus has been conveniently been shifted from the serious problems within our health service. A common belief is that before things get better they must get worse and under the 4 year plan they are about to get a lot worse. In the case of a health service this couldn’t be further from the truth. The obvious result of a worsening health service is higher national morbidity and mortality. Are we prepared to allow this to occur?
