The Cork South City Branch, Socialist Workers Party, will hold a public meeting entitled "The Budget and the Economic Crash-The Socialist Alternative", on Wednesday 15th April, at 8pm in the Victoria Hotel, Patrick St. Speaker, Kieran Allen.

Brian Cowen's budget is the most vicious attack on PAYE workers that has ever been seen. It's sole purpose is to bail out the bankers and to satisfy international speculators who want to see us " take the pain."
The budget will rob a worker on the average wage of €38,000 of €1,000.
They will also lose another €1,000 for every child under the Early Childhood Scheme.
If they bought a house or apartment before 2002, they will lose all mortgage relief.
The total tax hike imposed on PAYE workers amounts to €1.5 billion. But the taxes imposed on capital amount to a mere €26 million.

This budget is a shocking example of everything that is wrong with this country. We have a puppet government that gets donations from banks and big business, and does their bidding. We need to rise up against them and drive them from office before they rob us even more.
Workers at grass root level need to call their own protests and to seek the support of fellow workers. The union leaders who called off the protest on March 30th are having "partnership talks" with a government that is robbing us. This is why we need a new movement of PAYE workers and social movements that stand up for the poor.

The public meeting on Wednesday 15th April will discuss how this movement can be established.
