Tony P is right, without entrepreneurs managing profitable enterprises
there would be no jobs but Tony G is also right, there is no reason at all
for the divide between employer and employee.

No manager of any company anywhere should be on salaries commanding high 6,
7 or even 8 figure sums of money while some of their employees are barely
above the poverty line. It is the disparity that needs addressing.

Private train, tram and bus operators are as guilty of this as any other
industry.
