Second, with regard to the people I talk about, the diaspora who have left this country and set up businesses in New York, California, Britain and Australia, the young people who had the guts to go out there and set up a business, Sinn Féin's contribution to them is to say "If you come back to Ireland, we will tax you on your American assets as well". That is their contribution to the diaspora. They should be ashamed of themselves. They go to New York and get their $500 from the wealthy businessmen in Manhattan. What do they do? They do not give it to the taxpayer; they put it in their back pocket. It goes into the Sinn Féin coffers.
