Decades of FF and FG have allowed them to screw the middle classes while pretending to be defending the middle classes.
And guess who lets them off????
The paid off media.
Good piece here on why Ireland is ranked worst-in-Europe on personal taxes. The top German rate is 45%, but applies to income well over a quarter of a million euro.
In Ireland, the government takes 48% on anything above €44,000, which was the average earnings in 2024 (latest CSO figures available). It moves to 52% at anything above $70,000, as the higher USC kicks in.
For around 4 in 10 people, the government takes more of their overtime, extra work, bonuses and pay increases than they do.
