Not a Reason to Vote "no"

Opponents of the Treaty tend to suggest that there is a threat to Ireland's freedom to set its own tax rates, but this is not an issue for me in considering how to vote, for two reasons.
First, it seems to me that it is unlikely that those with a direct involvement in Irish corporate affairs would be as unworried about this possibility as they clearly are, if there actually was a realistic threat.
My second reason possibly shows what a "good European" I am really, notwithstanding my increasing scepticism about "the project". You see, I am somewhat persuaded that it is necessary for the Single Market which has been so good for Ireland for harmonisation of tax rates to be better.
