Argument in a pub the other night about Ukranians "taking our houses".
They had no answer when I explained that 25 BILLION or about 30% of all tax taken in by the state comes from companies and that almost all of it is from profits earned in other countries.
The amount of money spent on assisting those feeling war and suppression for various countries is small in comparison to what we earn from other countries.
Maybe the government narrative should change and start merging information about the massive corp tax earned off profits companies make outside Irealand with the refugee assistance. It might soften people's cough when they realise that the €600 electricity credit, the additional fuel allowance and the very generous addition welfare payments were all made easy due to this huge influx of tax from profits made outside of Ireland.
Puts a better angle on it.
I think I changed the minds of four people in Kildare town
