Rant and Rave January 8, 2009

To be honest I don’t know what to rant about today there’s just so much, the weather, our politicians, the Gaza violence, the looming risk of unemployment in the country, doesn’t it just sound depressing. 9 out of 10 people fear for their jobs. I feel lucky cause I know Nigel is the 1 in 10 who’s job is secure. But our Government is really pissing me off. When I heard they were moving the budget up I thought great, they are going to nip this in the bud and get the country on track. Ha was I wrong. They are attacking children and the elderly and raising taxes. Now England had the right idea. They reduced their taxes, made it easier for the people. Why the hell didn’t the Irish government take a leaf out of their book? Now all the Irish are going over the border cause goods are cheaper but in turn we are pumping money into their economy while ours is dwindling. I’m not saying don’t go up over the border, I’m saying tell the idiots in charge that we need some relief.

Another thing that is bugging me lately is thee fact that we are still supporting anyone who decides to come here. Now before anyone jumps to conclusions I am not one of those people who think foreigners shouldn’t be allowed into the country. I welcome them but it’s the ones who come here, start claiming dole and suck the money out of our economy I hate. I’m all for people coming here and starting a new life and contributing to our economy and all that, that’s great let them earn the social benefits like I had to. Also Irish people out there who are on the dole and never worked a day in your life, shame on you. I’m one of those people who like you know you have worked, you have paid taxes, now you are having a hard time, ok here’s a hand to help you get back on your feet.but why should the rest of us pay other peoples way. There is a group of people who live underneath us. Gettting all the benefits they can off the government and they have the biggest tv I have ever seen. It’s scandalous! Now for you people who think I’m a hypocrite as I’m on job seekers. I was working from 16 and earned the credits. So you can’t say I’m a hypocrite.

Well I’m fed up of giving out now and I’m going to eat now. So if you feel the same about this let me know and I shall post the best arguments. Or if you feel I am wrong tell me and I’ll start a debate going.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
