Its all these socialist assh*les who give him a hard time because he actually spends some of the money he makes for a living, rather than just giving it all alway.

For 'Spends some of his money' replace with 'Doesn't pay any tax in his own country'. And last I checked it doesn't matter if you are socialist , fascist or anything in between , you still pay taxes.
He's quite willing to get his face on the news and bleating on about those less fortunate than others yet when it comes down to doing it himself with his own money , rather than the money of others he's quite willing to get a team of lawyers and accountants to search out every loophole & offshore company in existance.
So he can open a music school in Dublin and say how he is making a difference. Well big f*cking deal , imagine how many schools could benefit if Bono's millions were having the proper amount taxed that he should pay.
But of course by doing it that way you don't get your picture in the papers so he's not interested.
I realise that he's not the only one , but then they're not getting nobel peace prizes & knighthoods either.
