Finance Bill 2005 [Certified Money Bill]: Committee and Remaining Stages.
4:00 pm
Brendan Ryan (Labour)
I was enjoying the ideological conflict.
Taxation is not equivalent to stealing money from people. Tax is what one pays for the services provided by society. I do not refer to anything Senator John Phelan said but I am entirely sick of those, particularly affluent people, who claim they have never received anything from the State. This usually means they did not receive third level grants.
