You've a 41% top rate, and a 2% excess tax on income over Euros100k? There are higher rates elsewhere.

The guys at the G-20 Summit all took this form home to copy and distribute. :D

Where the hell are people getting these notions from? The entire point of the G20 decision was to increase the spending capacity of their consumers, not to reduce it by increased taxation. Ireland's having an emergency budget on Monday because of its special circumstances but I doubt whether personal taxation's going to rise significantly. In any event G20 was a "let them spend" approach to recovery, not a "tax them harder" conclusion.

But reality's reality. How can anyone think posting something so biased, uninformed, ignorant and prejudiced amounts to humour? It's "my party or death", it's not remotely sensible. No, it's not funny.

Also great news that the proposals were a success. I see FTSE up, house prices up and confident banks already. Those doubters of GB may just have to eat their words. :D

Biased, uninformed, ignorant and prejudiced. If it was intended to be jokey too then that makes it even sicker.

Did you think Mike posted the form seriously??

I really feel you owe Kindle an apology for over reacting here.

No, and no I don't. Mike's was innocuous fun, Kindle's wasn't in the slightest.

Hey Milkennie, just to let you know, I did a little acoustic trio gig over the weekend in a local cafe, I printed up some of these forms and we got them handed out midway through the set, (along with another page done up like a tax returns form where people wrote budget suggestions over Brian Lenihan's head). The one that got the most applause won a bottle of champagne, just to ease the pain (as it were) so thank you for that one my lad.

Some of my favorite suggestions for saving the country were

1. Tax Riding

2. Recycle Badgers

3. Up the poll tax (72 percent tax on children's allowance)
