Unlike many former colleagues,who cost the Taxpayer hundreds of Millions in Tribunal fees to get to the truth,Mick Wallace has confessed to a false declaration in relation to the VAT liability of one of the Companies he was a director and shareholder of. One resumes that he did this because the publication of this fact by the Revenue Commissioners was imminent.It flows from this that the Revenue have already decided ,under their interpretation of their care and management powers ,that prosecution is not appropriate in the circumstances of this case.
Any attempt ,either by the Oireachtas or anyone else to reverse this decision amounts to interference in the exercise of Revenue powers and calls by opportunistic Ministers to to open the veil of secrecy with Revenue in his regard only and not in relation to their own areas of responsibility is not on.Every Government Department is actively touting for informers and the people informed on ,who may have their lives destroyed by such "Good Citizen " reports have just as much entitlement to know the identity of those informing on them as any Minister has to stick his or her nose into the exercise of Revenue of its duties with individual taxpayers.
If taxpayers feel that their confidential information furnished will not be treated in confidence then the system will fall apart.A result the promoters of the decommissioning of the confessional seal hope will befall Catholicism.
It is not that long ago since Ministers were diligent to remove from themselves any powers they had to decide such matters,presumably as they viewed it as inimical to their image.If they are unhappy with the Revenue all they have to do is to enact laws so that they ,the politicians can make these decisions in future cases.
But one assumes that as the three Revenue Commissioners are appointed by either the Taoiseach of the day or the Government of the day they have adequate faith in their appointees to do the proper and prudent thing in these matters.
Now the main issues that concern me are different than those opportunistic soundbites shouted from the high secular ground by a diverse spectrum of politicians who by their actions,or absence of them have reduced us to the status of beggar man of Europe and surrendered our sovereignty by incremental kow towing to the Reich and its satellites,of which we are now the most abject and spineless.
The public are so disillusioned that 50% of the electorate didn't even vote in the recent referendum surrendering more sovereignty and of the 50% that did vote only 60% voted in favour despite the active backing of the three biggest political parties in the Dail and the urgings of their friends in business,most of whom I imagine are hoping for a quid quo pro in return.
The most hypocritical and vociferous critics ,both in the media and in politics bases their rantings on the following facets:-
(1).He broke the law and is therefor unfit to be a member of the Dail.
(2)He lied in a declaration to Revenue and as a liar is not proper material for the job of T.D.
(3)His colleagues should have the authority to sack him.
Now I would have major problems with all these propositions.
There is no obligation on anyone to obey an unjust law in my view.The line that the secular law was sacrosanct was peddled by Hitler's Germany,Stalin's USSR,Mao 's China,Pol Pot's Cambodia,Japan's Hirohito and many more more recent regimes who have mass murdered their populaces and others.
I have no doubt that the principle of upholding of the law will be pushed by those Labour,Fine Gael and Fianna Fail T.D.'s who have sold out their electorate by endorsing the unjust and inequitable household charges,the septic tank charges and the plethora of disgraceful ,sneaky and oppressive laws they have enacted to get at decent people whatever way they can.
Believe me you ain't seen nothing yet.
To see where these incompetents have left us do a tour of Kells,Navan and Trim,taking in the industrial estates in the hinterland and imagine what the places will be like in five years when the Mines wind down.Now imagine what it would be like if the forty thousand who emigrated were kicked back home.
The trustee taxes of PAYE/PRSI and VAT are the biggest scam of all time,when viewed from a certain perspective.
VAT is not a just tax in any form .A millionaire pays the same amount on the goods or service as a pauper. The regime has been arranged to make every Registered person an unpaid collector of revenues for the State and imposes the most severe penalties and fines if the job is not done properly by that person.Actually the Collector General collects no VAT at all from unregistered persons.What it does is manage the real collectors.Every politician.judge and public servant knows full well that if the registered traders are not kept in line their salaries and pensions will dry up.Their victims are therefor whipped into line at every opportunity and this may explain the utterly severe sentences imposed by a political appointed judiciary on offenders of late.
As I predicted some time ago the Government has broken the spirit of the Judiciary by not allowing them to fight against the wage reduction imposed for reasons of subjugation and the ordinary citizen is at a huge disadvantage when he takes on the State in matters affecting the health of the Exchequer..
The politicians know where their mullah comes from.And so do their buddies.
While there is some element of equity in the Income Tax and RSI system ,in that it takes into account the income level of the individual, Registered employers are also unpaid collectors for the State and my remarks in relation to VAT Registered persons have equal application.
The EU is dependant on contributions from each member State to exist so both the E.U. and each State have vested interests in imposing the severest penalties and conditions on these unfortunates.
Such is the burden of compliance on business in relation to these matters and the unending requirements of other State organs and quangos that you would want to be mad to go there and the reality is that it is impossible to be straight all the time.Any honest business person or civil servant would tell you this if pushed and it is long past time that these issues were addressed and simplified.If not the EU will die the death very shortly.
Secular law regards breach of tax law as the greatest crime.Similar to East Germany before the fall of the wall.Give all to Caesar and let God go to Hell is the secularists motto.And compassion has no place,only retribution.
Those individuals and organisations whose neglect impoverished the populace to the extent that it is impossible to satisfy all creditors from one's resources and leave no way out except to cheat are the real culprits here.And we know who they are.
In brief I do not believe that what Mick Wallace did in relation a Tax which I consider unjust is wrong ,particularly if,as appears to be the case ,there was no way he could meet the impossible demands of a multiplicity of demented creditors from resources that withered because of the gross neglect of the people regulating the Country.There but for the Grace of God go us all.
The Dail needs far more people drawn from the business community who know first hand the vicissitudes of business and to be lectured to by former teachers and the like ,who never created even one job and never employed anyone save the substitute they employ to preserve their pensions,is a bit rich.
Regarding the suitability for the Dail of people who lie, I 'd saythere would be very few qualified,maybe a few dozen in the Country.In my life so far I have only met one man who told me he never lied .
I do think however that anyone who tells another that he has hired a hit man to collect a debt,when it is untrue ,in order to scare a debtor ,is beneath contempt and should not be welcome in decent company,never mind the Dail.
There are very few circumstances where politicians should have the power to decide to unelect democratically elected deputies .Such a power would make them self perpetuating dictators and fascists.
