Who Fancies paying more Income tax ?

[Rjk]

Ireland just slashed corporation tax.

If everyone do that it would just be a race to the bottom

corporation tax has been 12.5% since the mid 2000s, in the mid 90s it was 40% ish an 50% before that.

The same points would apply to Ireland before they cut corporation tax (to a little bit less than us) as they do now.

Do you think if Ireland had remained as part of the UK from 1921 until 1991 it would have done as well as it did independently?
