Whether U2's publishing company pays taxes to Ireland or not, more poor people are going to be helped if Bono's idea goes through. That's what matters. You're just sour because he's obnoxious.
Yeah, pretty much! That is why I am sour. Because he is obnoxious, arrogant, and boastful. But I do stand by my claim that he can be a tad hypocritical at times. Mirroring his belief system with the way he acts never adds up.
