It’s hard to watch the rape of Ireland

31 billion euros for Irish bank capital capital aid … Out of 31.5 billion euros total tax revenue for the year! Leaving 0.5 billion euros for the rest of the government. And please note that 31 billion is a *voluntary* contribution to the banks by the government. … Mortgaging the people of Ireland for at least a generation, to bail out a criminal banking system so that they don’t have to face the consequences of their actions.
