Will citizens who benefited from the 35 per cent tax band bonus a year ago again receive €35 in 2016? The situation is identical to that of 2015.
Most of us will not benefit from the tax band reduction to 25 per cent from 35 per cent handed down to royalty on a silver plate.
Rightfully then, last year’s recipients deserve another €35. Either the government does this or desist from its monkey business.
Come to think of it, while Robin Hood robbed the rich to pay the poor, our government is robbing the middle class to pay the rich. Hence its motto: pro business.
