Tom Fletcher manages to throw mud on public schools, minimum wage earners, anti-poverty advocates, and anyone opposed to corporate tax cuts all in one column.
Perhaps he should change his flagstaff from “BC Views” to “BC Right Wing Views” or simply spell out BC as Before Christ.
Fletcher is right, however, to suggest that some people on the left tilt toward windmills and imagine that money grows on trees. There is no answer to difficult issues like the minimum wage other than to consider the interests of both businesses and low income earners.
