Matt Cooper was the only one to pull up O Connor and ask him to define a worker. He would not answer straight. I know plenty of business people and people with good wages, who work damn hard yet these guys like Higgins and O Connor get away with emotive clap trap about workers clearly using this description to talk only about lower paid union employees.

If you earn 150,000 a year, and work hard, why is there such an appetite to begrudge them this, and why is such divisive talk from the bearded bandits allowed to go un questioned?
