The Robbery of Working Class People
- The bin charges
represent an attempt at extortion of working class people.
- We already pay
over 80% of all tax in this country and have paid many times over for
our local services.
- Local charges will
not be acceptable until the overall burden of taxation is shifted to
big business and the rich inthis country.
- This country is
run by parties who are in the pockets of big business and rather than
tax their 'friends' they tolerate fraud and give them tax amnesties.
- ALL the other parties
in the Dail have voted for bin charges over the last years in some parts
of the country.
- This government
says the boom is over and intend now to attack the living standards
of working class people.
- The record of the capitalist establishment in this country is a disgrace. There is now nearly ten different corruption tribunals which shows the extent of their abuse of power.

End the robbery of working class people - put people before profit |
No to Privatisation
Most refuse services around the country have been privatised and there is no reason why they will not attempt this in Dublin. Privatisation would be a disaster and would constitute a further robbery of working class people, worse services and leave us at the mercy of money hungry profiteers.
We Can Defeat the Bin Charges
The Socialist Party is opposed to double taxation and privatisation in principle and has a record second to none on these issues. With community activists we led the campaign that defeated the water charges. The lesson from the water charges struggle is that with mass non-payment and a willingness to defy the courts - we can defeat the bin tax!
Join the Socialsit Party
The Socialist Party is made up of ordinary working class people like yourself and we are intent on challenging the position of the conservative, big business interests that dominate our country. Join us in this struggle.
