Is there anyway that we can get people to stop using the term "Ireland Inc."?

It's disgusting.

It suggests that the responsibility of the government is to maximise profit.

It suggests that spending is irresponsible, unless it can be shown to be maximising profit.

It suggests that those who don't agree shouldn't be considered.

Ireland is a country. It's not a company. The how and why of running it is, and should be, completely different to a company.

Stop it.

Please.
