U2 pay your tax fb page

Bonos arrogance has touched a nerve with ordinary people struggling to get by

Bonos complete removal from the lives of ordinary citizens came across in his interview with Gay Byrne. Its the trillions being held in offshore tax havens that have created much unnecessary poverty, especially in First World countries, which should all be living the Scandinavian dream of equality, a massive middle class and v high standards in all state bodies. Instead we have the super rich getting to a level of wealth and then reaching a point where they can claim to be based abroad for tax reason and pay even less than the average person when they should be paying twice what a person who can barely feed their family is. His arrogance is infuriating and i would love to have a protest outside his house in Dalkey sometime, to bring the anger of so many people, who are feeling unnecessary pain, to his doorstep.

I have set up a "U2 pay your tax" fb page there are only 59 likes so far but if i got enough i would look into having a protest outside his home. I don't know if the cops would allow it but would have it anyway.

I feel that the public are angry enough to get involved and this could open the debate on all tax avoidance.
I would imagine that the taxes we make from foreign companies could be equaled or surpassed if our wealthy were made pay their fair share, especially if we created a backdated tax law that could claim back taxes like the 50 million we lost when Dennis O Brien moved his residency to Portugal when he sold his Esat

I have set up a petition please sign and share
