Tue 10 Oct 2008Time to 'beat on the brat with a baseball bat'
It's time to hit back against the accursed breed of toddlers, tweens and teens, writes Fintan O'Toole
THESE PEOPLE are parasites. They live off other people's hard work. They always have their hands out looking for more. They contribute nothing to the real economy. They are utterly self-centred, viewing the whole universe through the tiny prism of their own insatiable demands. They are constantly looking for bonuses and pats on the back. They swan around with their personal shoppers, personal trainers, personal bodyguards, and even personal bloody dressers. For all the whingeing about last week's Budget, the Government deserves great credit for finally standing up to them. It's payback time.
