Ireland Vote For Constitutional Austerity

I've had to take four days to try to compose myself before adding to my blog the decision of my country and my country's people to vote to amend our Constitution in favour of harming one section of Irish Society. The poor. The Vulnerable. The sick. Children. Blind widows. Pensioners. Unemployed people. Low paid. Immigrants. Foreigners. Black people. Disabled. Disabled Children. Because WE voted to harm all these people I decided not to answer that decision on Thursday night because I would  have been banned from Twitter Facebook. You all know why I would have been banned from Twitter & Facebook. Because ALL people who voted yes voted to HARM all of the above. And I would have used horrible language  to describe Yes voters. I would have been right. I am not going to abuse YES voters. I do not need to. They will feel the guilt for what they have done when one of their children is dumped on the dole or committs suicide because of hard times caused by the austerity programme. One consolation we have in this horrific situation we find ourselves is that only 27.5% of the Irish electorate voted to harm their fellow citizen. Whether it was out of fear of cash points closing or Social Welfare being stopped as suggested by the Fianna Fail/Fine Gael Coalition or if it was selfishness of holding what they have at all costs and to hell or Connaught with the poor of Ireland. Many will be puzzled when they see my figure of a YES vote of 27.5%. Well 50% of the electorate abstained from voting in the Austerity Referendum. Most probably abstained because of confusion. Whatever the reason they did not give their consent to the Government to use fiscal mechanisms to harm primary school children or elderly women on hospital trolleys. They may have abstained but they will be heard eventually. All the billionaires and millionaires living here or abroad will have voted a massive YES because they urgently need the Fianna Fail/Fine Gael Coalition Government to hold the line on fiscal rectitude. If the Government were to give in to the NO voters, billionaires in Ireland might well have to pay tax towards the Childrens Hospital which will hopefully treat children with dignity who suffer from Cystic Fibrosis, who now share wards with elderly patients who may well pass on infections that will cause their death. Or Children's Cancer which is expensive. Any of the 300 billionaires registered as living in Ireland  or claiming Irish citizenship could alone and individually pay for the entire cancer programme of childrens cancer on the Island of Ireland. It would not need Government intervention. It would not need the HSE north or south. I heard a comment by Miriam O'Callaghan on Prime Time tonight when she questioned a Sinn Fein TD Eamon McGlaughlin and claimed Gerry Adams position as President of Sinn Fein was like the political structure in Cuba! Gerry Adams should be so proud of that allegation. What exactly was the SDLP candidate Miriam O'Callaghan getting at?

In Cuba it is difficult to get a bus. Most people cannot afford a car. They don't have the obsenity of people competing in December 2012 for a 2013 BMW number plate. Yes Miriam an obscenity. Your Wealth is OBSCENE! But in Havana Miriam O'Callaghan would be very safe. Cuba would not need Miriams money. All of Miriam O'Callaghans nine children would be cared  for free of charge. Because Miriam Cuba respects ALL children. Not just the children of the wealthy like Joe Duffy, Pat Kenny, Gay Byrne, Irish Independent & ALL RTE broadcasters. RTE are the greatest obstacle to Ireland's fiscal freedom. Those I have named above are activley involved in preventing the freedom of Ireland. The Freedom of Ireland does not mean the downfall of RTE. It means Pat Kenny is not as valuable as a student nurse volunteering to care for a child dying of cancer in a hospice for kids in Newtownabbey Belfast. Pat Kenny you are a useless Prick on the Island of Ireland. You are paid in monetary terms €635,000 annually. A banker who you probably knock about with every day is in receipt of up to €2,000,000 annually. I Toni Manifesto want to revalue your job. In fact to complete the fairness and morality of the need or justification of Pat Kenny as an entity or contribution towards Irish society I want to downgrade you. You should be paid slightly less than an illegal immigrant from Nigeria who is today cleaning  the floors of several banks in Dublin City Centre. Ireland should have more respect for those illegal workers than they have for you Pat Kenny.

Now that I have said that Pat, do someting positive. Give one million Euro to REAL poor people in the centre of Dublin. Directly to St. Vincent De Paul.   

€100 Billion of Wealth in the Hands of 32K People

The Sunday Independent reported €62.4 billion in the hands of 300 people in Ireland yesterday. If one adds the 31,762 millionaires as reported on TV3's Vincent Browne by the Irish Times' Fintan O'Toole then it should be relatively easy to pay off the countries debts. A 5% levy per year for five years on that €100 billion and perhaps a 3% levy on all the half millionaires would bring in €25 to €30 billion. It wouldn't hurt the wealthy and it would save a lot of money to the exchequer chasing blind widows for €10. Or households for €100. Is that a bit simple for Enda to get his head around? Or is he just in love with millionaires? 

Irish Constitution is a New Born Baby continued

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.    

Irish Constitution is a New Born Baby

This blog tonight is in response to my brother who lives in England. My brother is a committed Capitalist. Believes in the freedom of anyone to make money in any way as long as they are not involved in crime under present legislation. I repeat that. Under present legislation. If I were a legislator being a Billionaire would be a very serious crime. So long as a Child in any hospital in Ireland was/is in danger of serious injury or death because of lack of funding then Billionairism was responsible directly for that child's death or injury. So each and every Billionaire in my opinion is no different than any other Criminal on the streets of Dublin, Cork, Galway, Belfast. And is responsible personally for each and every crime created because of poverty.

I want to explain why I called this blog a New Born Baby. I have personal experience of new born babies who were struggling for life when they were born. I have a 24 year old child who beat the odds. But my main point in writing this blog tonight is to emphasise that we Irish people claim to be Educated. We whinge because our kids are being exported to Canada Australia! When I spoke to my brother today we differed in opinion. He is a capitalist and I'm a committed Socialist. He earns like €000000 and I sponge off the state cos I can't work cos I'm a bit ill.

To be continued!

I Got the Chineese Connection Right!

Scroll down the pages till you come to Sunday 28th November 2010 and read my title "Ireland's Budget 2011 Continued". As the Vice President of China leaves our shores today to head for Turkey it would appear that someone in high places has been following my blog and possibly taking my proposals re the EU, China and international trade on board. I should have copy righted the blog so they couldn't steal my ideas. But I hope they do. I say again, we needed the EC in 1972. We do not need the EU in 2012. We need China, Pakistan and India and maybe the middle east as our main trading partners. Take a look at my 2010 predictions. It would raise an eyebrow now in Beijing. And maybe raise a few questions for Enda Kenny.

We Must Re-value our People: Re Government Advisor Pay Rise

The disgraceful €35,000 pay rise given to Fine Gael Government Adviser Ciaran Conlon has prompted me to conduct a a survey of how we value our employees or even our people in this country. For instance if Ciaran Conlon is valued at €127,000 per annum for the post of Government Adviser then doesn't that mean that a Paediatric Nurse should be valued at €1,270,000 per annum? Or perhaps to save the country a fortune we could reverse that and value our Paediatric Nurse at €127,000 per annum and pay Mr Conlon €12,700? I'm going to post this Blog on Twitter and I want all Tweeters to  Tweet a  Profession or job to compare with Mr Conlon's job. And I want you to value that job using Mr Conlon's remuneration as a landmark amount to compare professions.

I think Mr Conlon should come clean in public and in the media to explain what this very important job consists of. Does he actively seek and find tens of thousands of jobs in Ireland? Is it that he can type fast that he's so valuable? Maybe he's good at IT? Can he make a cup of tea? Now I don't want to be unfair to Mr Conlon so I'll pose those questions to a Paediatric Nurse. Maybe we should ask Mr Conlon can he find the vein of a 2 hour old baby to set up a saline drip? Can he control life saving machinery of a gravely ill 5 year old girl? Well those and other things such as making the tea for all the little ones in the Paediatric Ward I feel is a more important job, a more important contribution to society, than Mr Conlon can ever achieve. If Mr Bruton feels he doesn't know enough about his job then he shouldn't have went up for election until he educated himself.

Now here's how I would like all you tweeters to respond to my survey. Think about a few professions to compare with Mr Conlon's. Not many people will know that there are a squad of very brave people who's job it is to keep the sewers of Dublin in working order. I leave it to your own imagination as to what these people have to do down the sewers all day preventing blockages and dealing with your human waste before going home to their families in the evening.

But there are many more important and valuable contributions to society than Government Advisers. Firemen and women. Ambulance personnel, Gardai, army personnel in the Lebanon, waste disposal officers (bin men), hospital porters etc, etc etc. But I'll leave it to tweeters to choose a job and value it in comparison to a Government Adviser at €127,000. We really do need to stop valuing a Barrister at €2 million and a hero in the army at a few thousand. 

I'll Vote Yes for 2012 Referendum if I get the Following:

There's going to be a referendum in Ireland in March or April to decide if we are going to hand over the rest of our powers to govern this country to the European Union. I will be voting No against anything to do withe the EU despite the fact that I have in the past been a Euro enthusiast. But if I get the following I will vote Yes:

1. A 100% increase in disability benefits and allowances in Ireland.

2. A 50% increase in funding to the HSE.

3. A 25% increase in Education Funding with a further 25% towards children with a disability in Education.

4. A Wealth Register which anyone having earnings or assetts above €250,000 would have to sign in the first six months of 2012. The register would be published and open to inspection by the general public. It is important that the Irish people get knowledge of the identity of the 30,762 millionaires divulged by Fintan O'Toole on Vincent Browne's Tonight programme on TV3 last year.  

5. A 50% reduction in legal costs and fees in Ireland, particularly fees for Barristers.

6. A Wealth Tax with the emphasis on tax diverted from the poor and middle income people to those earning more than €100,000. The theory that these rich people will leave Ireland if they are asked to pay their way is fine by me. The cream of Ireland have already been leaving in their hundreds of thousands. As long as they drop their cash and their passport in a wheelbarrow before they board the plane Bye Bye. By the way the cream of Ireland is led by for example Paediatric Nurses. They are also much more skilled, knowledgeable, and valuable to this country than any over paid and over valued Fine Gael Government advisor.

7. Anyone with an income of less than €22,500 would be exempt from income tax.

8. Ireland should have total and exclusive fishing rights returned to the control of the Irish Government and the EU should give a €2 billion grant to Ireland to build an Irish Naval fisheries protection fleet.

9. All Agriculture restrictions must be lifted by the EU on Irish Farming and exclusive governance of agriculture be returned to Ireland from the EU.
10. Ireland should apply to the United Kingdom to return to the sterling area and leave the Euro in a planned and orderly fashion if the above demands are not forthcoming from the European Union Authorities.
