1322. Taxing Problems: Ireland Beyond Apple

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack The only thing
“historic” about the European Court of Justice’s Apple Tax ruling
was how historically quickly the government and its allies in the
media moved away from the illegal tax evasion and on to the “how
will we spend it?” question. Not so fast, boys. On this episode we
talk with Economist and author of Tax Haven Ireland, Brian O’Boyle
about how the deed was done, the steps Ireland has taken to make
the immoral tax system seem at least somewhat less illegal these
days and the reasons why the tax haven is actually bad for the
quality of life for most people listening to this podcast. Warning:
may contain topics that expose the “it’s very complicated”
narratives pushed elsewhere. The Far Right Lies
