Ireland: We [sic] can’t afford these tax exiles

A letter to the Editor of the Irish Independent online:
We can’t afford these tax exiles
Monday March 30 2009
It is called ‘an Irish solution to an Irish problem’, ‘the ultimate escape plan’, and reinforces the notion that ‘only little people pay tax’. That is, moving offshore to escape the clutches of the Irish tax authorities. This needs to be stopped now.
Ireland needs to adopt the American tax system whereby an Irish citizen would have to renounce his citizenship before he could move abroad to with his cash.
We need a law that will tax the assets of those who leave for good on their way ‘out the door’, as if they were selling their assets, and a provision needs to be put in place that would tax Irish heirs on amounts given or left to them by ex-Irish citizens. Taxing the recipient instead of the donor would make it harder to get around any new tax laws.
Ireland Inc could never afford these tax exile prima donnas. In the current economic climate they need to be told that if they are not prepared to be part of the solution, they will no longer be allowed to be part of the problem.
To remove their citizenship and require them to apply for a ‘tourist visa’ to visit Ireland might concentrate their minds.
We can no longer afford freeloaders in our society.

Of course, one of the immediate and appropriate responses to a screed like this is, “‘We’, who?”
Would that be the “we” which excludes all Irish tax slaves who recognize, rightly, that taxation is theft?
Would that be the “we” which excludes all the remaining Irish tax slaves who make every effort to “cheat” the taxman by underreporting, claiming legally impermissible deductions, etc.?
Would that be the “we” which excludes all the remaining Irish tax slaves who structure their investments, businesses and other economic activities such as to legally reduce the amount of tax they pay?
Would that be the “we” which excludes all the remaining Irish tax slaves who, knowing that they could do more for the State, consistently fail to send in extra “donations” to the government alongside their tax extortion payments?
Would that be the “we” which excludes all the remaining Irish tax slaves who — Catholic, Protestant or neither — consistently engage in the democracy’s sacrament, voting, with an eye toward electing candidates who promise to reduce their taxes?
That’s right, Mick Murphy, you go. You watch a few of your fellow slaves attempt to shed the yoke, and instead of rallying for freedom, call out to your masters to make the yokes heavier. You’re a goddamned hero.

Mr. Murphy ought to elaborate on the moral code he’s adopted that gives him say over someone else’s money. In the meantime, all Irishmen ought to follow the example of their favorite sons, U2, and start moving their assets elsewhere. Bono may be a hypocrite for doing so, but his actions speak louder than Mr. Murphy’s words.

He probably approves of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s villification of supposed “non-cooperative tax havens”:

Always entertaining to watch slaves attack their fellow slaves who dare to seek freedom from the slave-master government.
It’s slave-tastic!

Yes, just forget about the years of inefficiency, incompetence and gombeenism by successive irish governments, and focus on the real crooks – the tax dodgers.
All that money should go to those who deserve it most – the banks.
