In order to rectify the gross inequities and injustice in our society the wealth and income of Ireland must be distributed more equally. Now, sceptics reading this will expect me to come off with some mad rant about asking to be invaded by Cuba, which I probably would welcome to be truthful. But no, in order to address the mass poverty created by two governments, banks and billionaire/millionaire developers, this country needs to find a compromise between Capitalism and Socialism. By the way a Fine Gael Labour Government is not a compromise between Capitalism and Socialism. The Fine Gael Labour Coalition is 97% Capitalism. The solution is similar to what applies to 70% of the population now. There is a minimum wage in Ireland. There should be a maximum wage to address that most glaring inequity.
However the main way to address inequality in wealth is to put a Cap on wealth itself. This will be difficult when one considers that 7% of our population own all or most of the wealth in Ireland and therefore control politics and politicians. Today The Irish Independent, one of the main wealth instruments of the media in Ireland published Ireland's Rich List 2012. It may not be accurate as the Sunday Independent is owned and controlled by one of the wealthiest people on earth. But Nick Webb, the Independents business Editor states that the richest people in Ireland have almost the same amount of wealth as the Fianna Fail, Fine Gael, Labour Coalition and their wealthy supporters have. €62.2 billion. Wealthy people are 10% more wealthy in 2012 than they were in 2011. The poor people of Ireland are 38.2% less well off than in 2011. An elderly blind widow has had 18.6% of her income stolen from her in the last 10 months. That money has been transferred directly in cash to Anglo Irish Bank Bond Holders and other Irish Billionaires and Millionaires and rich people and Politicians. In an earlier Blog I asked the question if Al Quedia had benifited from Ireland's involvement in the international finance markets and more important Anglo Irish Bank. I repeat that question. Because I did not get an answer the last time. I am still suspicious when no-one replies to me. They don't say NO we are not involved in terrorism. We are not, as a country, as an Independent State, The Republic of Ireland, paying Bond Holders who are Al Quedi. Enda Kenny was asked directly if the Irish Government were paying €3.1 billion to Bond Holders who he cannot identify.
The headline of this blog is dedicated to a New Born Baby. My new born baby is born or transferred between Temple Street, Crumlin, Coombe, or some emergency service in Dublin. Why is it ALWAYS Dublin? Because it's a population area that ignores Ireland. However what I really want to talk about is a Cap on wealth, a Cap on Billionaires, a Cap on Millionaires. Today's Rich List shows that not one single baby ever needs to be in danger because of a shortage of funding on the Island of Ireland. But Crumlin Children's Hospital pays cash to advertise for private funds on RTE Radio several times per day. They PLEAD to the general public to help fund new born infants and young children for emergency treatment for aggressive cancer conditions and serious heart operations. Why? Why is a hospital in Dublin advertising on a National Broadcasting Service for help to carry out emergency procedures on tiny new born babies or Paediatric Cancer operations and services? And 300 people on the Island of Ireland share €62.2 billion. I really need to repeat that so that I can emphasise how extremely gross it is. It is GROSS! Really Really Really gross! What is the most gross thing that can happen to any human being? I'm going to answer that. I think it is being abused as a child. Has a very rich person ever been sexually abused as a child? No. I will repeat this over and over and over again. Being a billionaire is being a child sex abuser. Because somewhere along the line you did not notice the Mater Hospital or the Crumlin Hospital. I had a baby there by the way so don't think I don't know what I'm talking about!!! Each and every Billionaire and each and every millionaire who might read this, (unlikely because they will pay someone to read it for them) was and is directly involved, was or is directly responsible for all the poverty in Ireland and ALL the Child Sexual Abuse in Ireland.
The most important thing is to to re-distribute the wealth of Mistry to Clarke. To prevent the suffering of babies and grannies. A one year 50% levy on everyone who has income or assetts above €500,000 on the Island of Ireland. That would actually pay the entire debts of Ireland for the last 8 years and pay a nice sum towards all the Special Needs Kids (2,000) for the next three years. And not one rich person would be inconvenienced.
