Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance)

I agree that people want public sector reform and social reform generally. However, is the real source of their anger not the massively overpaid top civil servants, politicians, bankers, who are now effectively public servants because they are paid pretty much with public money, and executives in the private sector, including those in private consultancy firms, etc.? People want reform to reduce the massively excessive salaries of those at the top of both the public and private sectors. Some are earning five to ten times what is earned by the ordinary worker, be he or she in the private or public sector.
