Nobody said you ran your own constuction company.

But if you were waged in the construction industry in the recent past you were effectively being paid on tic - and now the regular taxpayer is still picking up the tab for your wages.

It's like having to pay the credit card bill for someone you don't even know. And it's particularly annoying when the overpaid former construction workers that you are paying for now after the fact have the cheek to put on the poor mouth and don't even have the wit to realise that others are still paying their wages.

If you worked in the construction industry on a Section 23 tax stimulated job you ran up the bill and we are all now paying your wages retrospectively. Simple as that.
