Taxing bankers

It appears that Minister Michael Noonan does not wish to place any financial contraints on Bank Of Ireland’s Richie Boucher and others like him.

Minister Noonan is well able to cut through the pay packets and pensions of ordinary workers and attack the meagre allowances of both the disabled and home carers.

There should be a 75% tax rate. Mr Boucher would still have €250,000 left for himself which is over five times the pay of nurses and rank and file gardaí.

In addition, a 1% wealth tax would help to get our national debt under control.
