offsite link Why Governments Love Raising the Minimum Wage ? Because it?s Really a Tax Mon Dec 22, 2025 15:36 | Mark Ellse
Why do governments of all parties love raising the minimum wage? It may seem generous, but really it's a tax, says Mark Ellse. The low-paid worker keeps just one sixth of the increase. 85% goes to the government.

Financial fools day - The banks have taken our money. Let's demand it back!

category national | anti-capitalism | event notice author Saturday February 28, 2009 03:10author by Financial fools dayauthor email financialfoolsday at gmail dot com Report this post to the editors

The banks have been given a €7 billion bailout of taxpayer’s money for their greedy risk-taking mistakes, whilst ordinary people are given job losses, wage cuts, a pension levy, a shrinking health service, and cutbacks in education, transport and other public services.

Enough is enough!

Come down to the Bank of Ireland and AIB on College Green, lunchtime on April 1st to ask them for your money back.

Let's give them a queue to remember. Shut them down for the day. Reclaim college Green. Dress up as financial fools. Show them how foolish they are. Fools Party at the bank.

The narrow-minded agenda of this government to protect it’s “golden circle” friends in the banking and other corporate sectors is only symptomatic of a capitalist financial system that for the past 40 years has persued neoliberal free-market economics to squeeze ever more profits out of workers and communities in developing countries as well as here in the west. At the same time it has been causing irreparable damage to our environment, heating up our world, melting the icecaps, burning up the rainforests, pushing the planet and its people to tipping point.

It’s time we took back control of our lives and our world from the financial fools. See you on April 1st for a fool-hardy time!
