The public sector needs to be cut it’s too big and it’s a false economy.
You’re creating jobs out of one big pot, taxing those jobs and putting the tax back into the pot, using that same pot to create other jobs and give money to other people for various reasons who then spend their money indirectly paying back into the same pot. It’s a bit like a company whose only customers are their employees.
Job creation and a healthy economy should be made from investment, supply and demand of goods and services that other countries want. You cut your luxuries when you can’t afford them and stop throwing money at things that are not a priority.
“To use a business analogy, I see a country as a ethical or fair trade type business, there’s more to the business than just making profits and keeping costs down, they have a responsibility to the workers as well” – In an ideal world, maybe, but companies (and governments) have to be ruthless at times in keeping their heads above water and that means making its employees take responsibility for themselves as well.
