Jill Kerby @JillKerby 34m #TodayPK Here, the like of Ciaran Lynch TD defends the coercive power of state to steal savings/property of anyone HE thinks should pay more
I was listening to that too, frightening stuff.
My pension pot is subject to a levy as has everyone elses for last few years. What is the difference between this and my tiny deposit in my Bank?
Were the Cypriots not really just levying a different type of savings..i.e money saved in a Bank instead of money saved in a Pension?
I object to both but I genuinely would like to know what the difference is as both involve the Government reaching in and taking what I have saved, not interest on it but the actual capital, not a gain but the principal.
So what is the actual difference?
every bank in this country would have closed its doors, never to open again. Every depositor would have lost every cent.
dub nerd, I dispute this. I was well aware of the previous guarantee covering 90% of €20,000 and had so arranged my funds as to have lost the minimum. If the banks had closed, I would not have lost "every cent", only 10%.
