Cooke and Government joined at hip.

As long suspected,the political strings in this Country are being pulled by tecknophopes who dictate to the political pygmies on all sides of the spectrum  not only the the appropriate moral approach to homosexuality i.e.to elevate it to a status above heterosexuality and sneer at those who think this is pure bunkum and to link the giant technological presence with a prevailing gay culture they inculcate,but also to dictate fiscal policy to the State and ensure that they pay as little tax as possible..
Let us put a few notions to the spotlight.
1.The Revenue Commissioners are independent only insofar as individual cases are concerned.Overall taxation policy is decided by the Government of the day .
I venture the opinion that even the dogs in the street knew and know that it is Government policy not to cross these mammoth super giants in any way for fear they will pull out of the country.
I am not suggesting that the Revenue persons who made the decisions that  permitted Apple to pay effectively no tax worth talking about was unduly influenced by the necessity to wear the Green jersey and have no doubt that the decisions were proper and in accordance with the law.
What I am saying is that the legislators who passed these laws are fully responsible for this scandal.
We should not forget that the Taoiseach in 1988 before ,the time of the first Revenue ruling  was taking handouts from his buddies .I am not suggesting that any of these Super Companies made any donations.
2.The Revenue Commissioners are not infallible.I remember Commissioner Quigley apologizing for Revenue mistakes decades ago... the Dirt scandal I think.
3.It would be interesting to ascertain if for example any senior Revenue Officials destroyed any documentation before their departure from office in recent decades and if so why.
4.The hundreds of thousands of persons registered with Revenue will be gobsmacked at the determination of the Government to throw back billions of Euros at APPLE ,while simultaneously the Revenue are horse whipping small businesses for little money and ,in my view ,contributing to many suicides,homelessness  and forced emigration.
THE FULL RANGE OF THE DRACONIAN POWERS THEY HAVE ARE BEING EXERCISED DAILY ,BUT THE POLITICOS TURN A BLIND EYE. and give more by the week.
Not only that but such politicians a Timmy Dooley wants the Revenue to take over all aspects of administration.His mantra for every emergency is to refer it to the Revenue.including the ALLEGED OLYMPIC TICKET AFFAIR,another item where the Pygmy politicians and drooling feminist journalists have behaved disgracefully.
5.Cooke the CEO of APPLE did his bit for the Government in the so called homosexual equalization campaign  and his like minded minions who populate cyberspace to a degree way in excess of their population created a genuine atmosphere of fear in those who legitimately opposed this bunkum .
The same population,it seems to m have been drafted in to again put logic on its head and refund billions of taxes legitimately due by  Apple.
These cosseted employees of the cyber space greed corporations will flood all public fora  with rhetorical nonsense in order to preserve their own greed filled status at the expense of everybody else.
Yet again the greedy will do their best to make the needy pay for their comforts and the pygmy politicians will play along.
And finally the politicians canot have it every way.They have blindly and with malice aforethought ceded sovereignty to the Eu at every hands turn,to the extent even of comically rerunning referrenda when they got the wrong result for them.hAVING GOT THEIR WAY ,NONE MORE RABIDLY THAN fINE Gael ,they cannot,if they have a shred of sense call foul if the mouth they they fed into bites the hand from them.
PS.Since I penned this I have listened to a nauseating interview with Cooke conducted by RTE in which Cooke considers his relationship with the Irish State as akin to a marriage and it has emerged that the Taoiseach of this Nation met Cooke the night before the EU Ruling was released.Clearly they are in Cookes opinion joined more intimately than at the hip.
You couldn't make this stuff up.
And by the way I fully expect the homosexual community on all sides of the political and journalistic communities  to fully back the man ..Cooke... who pushed their case in the recent referrendum in this matter.
