“creating many jobs for me and you”
Proving the assertion that at the end of the day Quinn has traction because his companies provided jobs when there were likely few. Now that doesnt make him a good man or his practices decent but it sure explains enough.
How do you wean people off this patronus-cliens relationship. Well having a state that could step in and provide decent opportunity rather than having some what free dealing business tycoons would be one way.
On the song – fookin awful but in a way nice to see the old ballad tradition alive and kicking on current events.But I wont be learning Sean Quinn the martyr song
