I agree with a lot of what you're saying. But before you even mention reducing the minimum wage, social welfare, etc., you need to consider the fact that consumer prices in Ireland have never been higher. In my opinion that's where the real problem lies, many people simply can't afford to pay the ridiculous prices some retailers are charging. Business' seem to be raising prices to compensate for a downturn in profits, which is the oposite of what the need to do.

@desm71 Good point desm71. I had loads of other points to rant about but went over time as it was. I'm trying to get people to really talk about whats going on as we are great at doing it in the pub, but duck our heads when when needed the most. Who knows, maybe it'll start something?? Thanks again

@heavydiesel You are dead right. Thats how most self employed people feel. We all want to hire someone but we just cant afford it!!! If everyone stood together we could make better changes for everyone, because the more the private sector go bust, the quicker social welfare will dry up!!

"Paying too much out on social welfare"

Has this bell-end ever had to scrape by on the dole?

Doubtfull

[SuperSaoi]

except a country is not a business, and applies socially and economically. It would be nice and simple to view it that way but it's not. Any cuts to social welfare, which was too high, takes money out of the economy. Money that needs to keep flowing though our business'. Social welfare is not empty money, as long as it stays flowing through our business'. And because we can't use protectionism to maintain that, we need to use competitiveness and efficiency to create home advantage.

We need to get back to a free market based economy and stop having the government involved in everything.What has caused this is the government and they are not the ones to solve this.Need to remove the government from as much areas as possible.

Reduce Income Tax

Scrap minimum wage

Reduce Corporation Tax

Reduce Social Welfare

No Bank bailouts

Reduce the punlic sector drastically

Reduce all pay in government

Smaller Government is the only answer

@camroc16 No matter what, we will be abused in some form or other and the abuse we are suffering right now from the government is far worse. Yes some employers will do that but the majority wont and we would all hire at least one full time member of staff right now if we could
