A U.S perspective

There is some mystery to all of this numbers just dont add up in some cases .Lets go with this as an idea .Paddy in Ireland. Gunter in Germany Cletus in the USA all earn 100 a week they are spending 30 a week on imported goods Plastic shite from China Oil from Arabia and the balance of payments favour China and Arabia this is repeated World wide meaning China and Arabia have Dunne Stores bags full of foreign currency like drug dealers they need somewhere to invest their coin so are buying up industries Banks Land ,Companies all over the World soon they will own enough of the world to control it .Bit like heard immunity if enough of us get the virus we will be protected from it .If China or Arabia own enough of the World they can control it .You see how it works with our Low Life Tax Robbing Scumb Sucking Government doing the bidding of the Americans to facilitate Tax Evaision in the guise of Avoidance .

 Now look at it from a different angle .The Virus breaks out in Chinatown its not that serious China had it under control like they said they did BUT The World Government ie Wall.Street Banks the Money men see an opportunity to bring down China and Arabia .Oil prices have collapsed Arabia is now spending its savings Sovreign wealth to keep the country going as they are not covering costs from oil sales .Made In China now carries a toxic label and China will need to use up its Sovreign wealth to keep the Lights on in Peking so less money to invest in other countries or economies .Have the World Order just taken the opportunity to protect the World Order by fabricating this opportunity to bring China and Arabia in line .How long before China and Arabia have to sell their Sovreign Wealth holdings in USA government debt for cents on the dollar or sell of all their share holdings in the Stock Markets that will be bought up at discounted prices to offset losses from the virus by the Big banks .End game Bankers who are loaning money to governments get cheap stocks and bonds China and Arabia get put back in their box .In the New old World order we all go Green dont need Arabian oil or cheap plastic shite from China anymore.

To explain how it works imagine you go to the amusements in Bray get a 5er in change run it through the Slot machine you get back about 4.20 of your 5er back  run it through again you get 3.60 of your 4.20 back but in the end the machine gets all your money .Some will get a jackpot like Arms dealers or Beef Barons but in the end the man who owns the slots owns all your money .

It might be our money but :

I understand DM but I recon they will treat this payment a a completely separate issue regardless of what you "earn/don't earn/write off" and will come a knockn for their tax, this is just my opinion , no link.

Yes but to off set, even if they do look for tax on the 350,if your not earning  other income, it should Ballance out

I pity the drivers who tell anyone who'll listen that they  make 1000 - 1500 a week, and will now have to answer to Revenue Special inquiries.
