What politicians have you met with lately ?
U2 and its frontman Bono, known for their global poverty-fighting efforts, were accused of dodging taxes in Ireland by activists who crashed their performance at England's Glastonbury festival.
The anti-capitalist group Art Uncut inflated a 6-metre balloon emblazoned with the message "U Pay Your Tax 2." Security guards wrestled them to the ground before deflating the balloon and taking it away. About 30 people were involved in the angry clash.
Bono fan Gary Noble, 45, said he found the security response "all a bit shocking."

Art Uncut argues that while Bono campaigns against poverty in the developing world, his group has avoided paying Irish taxes at a time when his austerity-hit country desperately needs money.
Ireland, which has already accepted an international bailout, is suffering through deep spending cuts, tax hikes and rising unemployment as it tries to pull the debt-burdened economy back from brink of bankruptcy."

You don't escape paying that much in taxes easily.
Looks like they were more safety valves to prevent a riot over a
concocted farce to divide and conquer created by the Germanic families and Jewish families that overthrew Rome in 476 beginning through the assassination of, and attacks on, my ancestors the Octavii on 11 September 9 in the Teutoburg Forest.

In 1517 the coup d'etat needed a face-lift to drag it out. Enter "Protestants."
The result ? Five hundred years of new wars, profits, and population culling.
31 October 1517. Strange. These dates just keep reappearing...
