Blue Waters owner Dominic Hadeed put Government ministers under fire yesterday when he said the Government gets 30% of what business owners make “without doing or investing anything”.

He made the comment while questioning the ministers of Finance, Planning, Economic Affairs and Development, and Trade, Investment and Tourism at the Trini­dad and Tobago Manufacturers Association’s (TTMA) Leadership Discussion and Networking Event at the Hyatt Regency (Trinidad), Port of Spain.

The room erupted into applause after his statement.
