It’s OK, why should “Bono” and “The Edge” pay taxes like the little people?

Anyway, Bono is happy to blast Canada’s PM for not kneeling before the Great Bono, so how would he have any need to pay taxes so that Ireland can afford to give away more money?

“[Harper} was then turned on by Bono (and sidekick Bob Geldof), who criticised Canada for its shoddy contribution to aid for the world’s poor: “We know who’s causing the trouble. And we know that Canada has blocked progress,” the singer-savers said. Bono, not looking happy, as above, announced that Harper was “out of sync” with his people. Geldof added: “A man called Stephen Harper came to Heiligendamm. But Canada stayed at home.” Harper was forced to give a press conference denying the allegations that Canada was the obstacle to a more charitable G8.”
