I'm so angry. My wife and I pay at least 70k taxes on our wages every year. Taxes don't stop there, we pay taxes on our cars, on our fuel, on our home, on our rent, we pay taxes on every single thing we buy with our already heavily taxed wages. All these taxes are at some of the highest rates anywhere in the world. We do so begrudgingly with the understanding that this money is supposed to make other Irish people's lives better. Now what we all knew was happening has been revealed. They try their best to hide it from us but part of the story has been let out. Our taxes are going to pay for homes for foreigners, not Irish people, complete foreigners and enormous numbers of them. 42% of the Dublin City Council list is complete foreigners, no doubt many of the Irish citizens on the list are also foreigners given Irish passports by our government. They have given out a quarter of a million of these in the last 20 years, and 30,000 last year alone. We get literally nothing back from our taxes. We have private health insurance, we pay for our GP visits and prescriptions. We pay both a mortgage and rent due to the Dublin-central nature of our nation. We have had to leave our home communities to the capital to try and get ahead. But our government has decided to allow hundred of thousands of complete foreigners live in our country and make us pay for it. I drive around North Dublin and don't even recognise the country I'm in half of the time. There are Indians and Africans everywhere. There are types of foreigners from far flung places I've no idea where they are even from. There is no fairness. There is no reward for hard working people. Our government are just handing our money and our country away to foreigners and to rub salt in the wounds I now feel like a complete stranger in my own country.
