The Irish, to be blunt, are so stupid that they (like most Europeans) think that private wealth is inherently evil (ie, stolen from “the people”) and that the accumulation of wealth “hurts the economy” and that this move to confiscate will “create jobs”.
Sadly, having passed largely from a peasant economy to a bubble economy, the Irish know nothing about capitalism. Again, though, they are basically run of the mill Eurosocialists. No different than the French.
I think lots of people are dumb enough to believe it.”
Sadly, you are quite right. The lure of socialism is strong for the ignorant masses.
I can’t say that it’s best not to save, it’s just going to be tougher for everyone unless the Republicans can rein in Obama. It’s all about the redistribution of wealth and killing off the US economy, so that we can never reach the heights where we once were.
We’ll be ok, but our kids are going to have it tough. To get an idea of what exactly the left is trying to do, do a google search on Caterpillar/ WSJ. Think about where Caterpillar is doing well. It’s not in the US.
