European countries should follow Ireland's example, not fight it. What the commission is attempting to do is unseemly bullying. Any concession to the socialists who want Ireland to slow its economy to reduce inflation would be a mortal sin. For too long Ireland has suffered in poverty's grasp. Too many beautiful people have sacrificed their dreams, their hopes, their lives and the lives of their children at the altar of pseudo-intellectuals' blarney.
Tax cuts work, and Ireland proves it.
To eliminate Irish inflation without harming Ireland's miraculous economy Ireland must either allow the punt to appreciate against the euro or convince the rest of the countries of Europe to adopt Ireland's pro-growth tax cutting policies. It's as simple as that. Ireland has been impoverished for hundreds and hundreds of years without relief. In a reversal of fortunes, several years ago Ireland became the epicenter of the European tax revolt. To businesses, entrepreneurs and the lovers of freedom everywhere Ireland's government was comprised of nothing but heroes.
