Ha! Then they'd be 'filthy industry' and the NDP wouldnt want them!
Not to mention that I never even remotely tried to make that argument at any point, I merely pointed out the hard reality that public servants (teachers and nurses etc.) are paid for through the production and subsequent taxation of industry.
You cant have one without the other, contrary to the popular and inherently erroneous belief demonstrated in this thread. As such it is in the best interests of the public sector to have a strong and healthy private sector.
If you lean too heavily on the private sector you by definition will adversely effect the public sector unless...you run everything on deficit spending (ie. paying your credit cards with other credit cards) but no one would be stupid enough to do that...
Wait...
