Badly burned over 50 former shareholder of Anglo Irish

After he flunked maths completely he really should have known not to invest in bank shares

To pay 1 million people 7 million each you're talking 7 trillion, just a tad above the 7 billion being used to bail out Anglo Irish

aye lad your maths is way off... 7 trillion is 7 times the US deficit...for ireland to rasie that kind of money EVERY person, man, woman and child would need to pay 250,000 euro in tax in one year

7 trillion is still 7 trillion UK wouldn't have that kind of revenue...theres probably 30 million people working in the UK so you would have to average about 33,000 per person a year in tax just to raise that..ridiculous...average per person is probably only around 4,000 per year in tax..and the UK probably has a deficit of around 500 billion a year..probably more considering their involved in 2 wars..I dont think even China woulkd have 7 trillion knocking about.
