Sinn Fein seeks the establishment of a new Ireland based on sustainable social and economic development; genuine democracy, participation, equality and justice at all levels of the economy and society; and a lasting and meaningful peace with unity of purpose and action. ~ From SinnFein’s policy statement
Sinn Fein comes from the Irish Gaelic expression for “We Ourselves”. It’s probably and as some in the know say it is the oldest political movement or party in Ireland.
Well the Sinn Fein party is doing something to eliminate the depression in Ireland. Surrounded by obstacles they are continuing to work through the bad guys trying to bring economic justice to the people of Ireland. The following is a 3 point plan they have come up with to eliminate the depression and something we should be presenting here in the states.
1. Reverse the budget cuts.
2. Impose losses on the bond holders who invested in Irelands crippled banks, this is the opposite of TARP, this is the real world. Those who lended money to the banks for the purpose of the banks ability to gamble that same money Sinn Fein is saying you rich gambled you lost you will now live with your loss just like anybody else that gambles and looses.
3. Of course as in every other country whose government allows the treasury to tank with too much debt the IMF has its austerity program; this program completely destroys working people. Well Sinn Fein is saying they will tear that piece of paper up as well. Yep the IMF will not prosecute their evil in Ireland. To hell with free trade and the EU we are going to go on our own.
Now watch and see because of this platform Sinn Fein probably will go from being a marginal fringe party with 5 members of Parliament to being the second most powerful party in Ireland in future elections. Hey Democrats how’s that for a platform you can believe in! If the Democrats would be a labor party again they would never loose an election. Never has the time been more right than now, we can start by re-regulating the airline fares take those profits and fill the paychecks of the lowest paid employees back to the current standard of living or better yet a standard worth living for.
