I'm pretty sure all those young people who earn 69 grand he's talking about have already been "taxed out of existence" because I've never loving met any.
To be fair to him, it is quite easy to earn 69k straight out of college when your daddy owns a hedge fund.

I really don't get FG. I thought their whole schtick was that they were Christian Conservatives.
No their schtick is that they're an upper-middle-class golf-club BMW-driving version of Fianna Fáil, with slightly less populism, slightly more right-wing economics and slightly less blatant corruption.

Irish political parties aren't divided neatly along socially conservative/socially liberal lines, partly because until the 80s everyone was socially conservative, partly because the divide was along other lines instead (i.e. level of soundness on the National Question).

although the whole "won't tell anyone his name" thing might be a bit of a a disadvantage at the ballot box
