Ireland is now a 'pariah state' over tax

[barryqwalsh]

Ireland is viewed as a "pariah state" by the international community due its corporate taxation policies, according to the man behind many of Jeremy Corbyn's economic ideas.
Economist Richard Murphy also said that Ireland should bring its corporate tax rate in line with the UK's, which is set to drop from 20pc to 18pc by 2020.

Mr Murphy, a chartered accountant and tax expert from Norfolk, is widely credited as the brains behind 'Corbynomics', Mr Corbyn's central platform of economic policies. He is an unofficial adviser to the UK Labour leader and has known him for about a decade.

I agree, all this corporate welfare should be abolished.

corporate welfare is bad.

but taxing the fuck outta companies makes it harder for them to;
provide their product-service affordably
open new stores
hire more people
pass out raises
be the engine of the economy.

leftist leaders know this, that's why they want to increase taxes on them.

If a business charges too much for its products the free market will take care of the matter.

If a gov't charges too much for its products the free market should take care of it too!!
