More evidence about why the Left loves taxes...

You want your favorite cause to have more money, write it a check. Otherwise get the hell out of the way.

Another hypocritical liberal - oh the huge manatee.
To: an amused spectator
It’s funny how liberals always want to spend someone else’s money. Liberals are a bunch of lazy, unpatriotic, tax deadbeats.

Bono wants western taxpayers to send hundreds of billions (more) to Africa while he dodges taxes in offshore tax havens and through tax dodging corps. The band collectively are the wealthiest people in Ireland yet they pay very little in taxes. Typical phony.

“”hey are living in Ireland, so they should pay Irish taxes, especially now that the country needs the money,” says Dave Coughlan, one of hundreds lining up in Dublin’s Grafton Street last Thursday night for the first copies of U2’s new album, which was released Friday.”
How do you spell “DUFUS”?
D-A-V-E-C-O-U-G-H-L-A-N!

more to the point why these leftists are the ultimate hypocrites. I am now wondering if the title track to their new album is “Do as i say not as I do.”

“He (Bono) claimed that Ireland’s Celtic Tiger boom was partly fueled by government tax breaks and sweeteners in the financial services sector....”
Is there a seed of hope for the guy? He almost seems to realize that low taxes spur the economy! Almost!

Bono is such a foreign relations expert he should be exempt from taxes.

They pointed out that the band pays millions of dollars in taxes worldwide and is fully tax compliant. So are all those evil corporations.

"...one of hundreds lining up in Dublins Grafton Street last Thursday night for the first copies of U2s new album, which was released Friday.
Pavlov's dogs come immediately to mind.
I could watch old movies from Netflix and listen to great old tunes from vinyl picked up for naught at a garage sale for years.
Who in their right mind rushes out to buy something NOW because it's "new"?

Bono is such a foreign relations expert he should be exempt from taxes. Well, that's certainly true...

To be a liberal is to be an utter hypocrite. Hypocrisy is in their damn genes.
