Your joking of course, Mr. Flannagan. "The owners, professionals and manager who keep the wheels of the economy turning..."? How very Conservative of you. This is the kind of myopia that fosters unionism and they are, sir, anathema to economic health. Your comments encourages them. What about entrepreneurs who inspire new economic opportunities and what about John and Jane Q Worker who do the heavy lifting the privileged few you mentioned are unwilling and frankly unable to do?
