Some people use a pen to ‘steal’ our money

The Government has made a law to ‘steal’ money from people’s pensions and social welfare benefits.

It is outrageous that Enda Kenny, and his government, can use legislation to pick the pockets of Irish citizens, who are finding it hard enough, as it is, to make ends meet.

It’s like the pharaoh in the Bible, who told the Hebrew slaves to make bricks without him supplying straw. Now, Enda Kenny and his government are telling us to feed ourselves and pay our bills on fresh air.

First, our right-wing leaders compel us to pay for our bins, then to pay property tax and they now write laws to rob the last few euro we get from dole and pensions.

The Government, who paid back all the bondholders, are taking off us to pay back the rich man’s bills.

Yet, the Taoiseach and his Dáil buddies don’t follow the white collar criminals who caused this recession.

Shame on Enda Kenny and your government. Some use a gun to steal money, the white collar criminals use a pen to ‘steal’ money.

Mr. Kenny uses his power to order legislation to ‘steal’ money from the poor, sick and unemployed: people who don’t wield any power, but who have power to say ‘no’ by protesting and by voting in the next election.
