Would a wealth tax on the super rich tank Ireland's economy? Great no-nonsense rebuttal from Jim Clarken in the Times unpicking the flimsy arguments opposing a modest wealth tax in Ireland.

Has it ever been more clear that we need to wean Ireland off our dangerous dependence on a handful of multinational corporations? Introducing a wealth tax in Ireland on the super rich could help broaden our tax base, & also reduce inequality. Is it time for a wealth tax? www.rte.ie/news/busines...
