Tax Yield

Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Deputy Boyd Barrett is building a fictional model of society. He is also selling unsound political currency to the people. He is pretending that out there somewhere there is a mythical enormous group of millionaires hiding under the bushes, and if we only taxed them adequately, everybody else would have to pay no tax. That is the way the Deputy presents it, which is grand. It is the money-tree-in-the-garden school of economics. It is not reality, however.
