Personally, IMHO, some whites will never, ever be concerned about equity or caring for each other. The history of whites documents the cut throat, sociopathic, selfishness and greed that speaks volumes about their spirituality. It is superficial. We must understand that this is a spiritual problem where one group of people lack love for another group of people.

A spiritual problem cannot be resolved with a political solution. This problem can only be resolved with a spiritual solution. This is why we pray, “Thy kingdom come. Thy Will be done. On earth as it is in heaven.” The kingdom of God is the solution. The kingdom of the white man will never resolve these problems, because they are the cause of the problems and profit from these problems.

On a second note, blacks in Bermuda and worldwide, need to open their eyes and realize the institutionalize christianity is a racket and a snare. She has made a deal with the devil long ago and sits on the back of the “beast” – the powers that be – and reaps the rewards. Beware of her and her destiny – destruction by God Almighty. He tells all of you, “Get out of her my people, if you do not want to share in her sins, which have reached all the way into heaven.”

Or you can continue to cling to the christinity (Titantic) and go down with her. Let be clear – what Jesus taught is above reproach and is wholesome and the truth. However, what the churches teach is loathsome, wicked and deceitful, standing between you and the Almighty. Remember, the blind leads the blind where?

Into a ditch. Get out of the ditch while you still have time. The crisis’ that is being felt all over the earth are like the “labor pains” Jesus spoke about 2,000 year ago. But he also said that the majority of people would pay no attention, just like in the days of Noah before the flood.

Will you pay attention? Will you quit begging the white man for something that you can do for yourself? Will you stop worshipping the white man’s system and look to the Kingdom of God for solutions?

If as you say Rev Tweed’s father was a Bermudian then it is highly unlikely Rev Tweed was on a work permit.

Which may be the case, or may not.

So what if Tweed is on a work permit. He is the product of a Bermudian father. Further, there are ‘no term limits’ on work permit holders.

If he doesn’t currently have status, I would be surprised is all I’m saying. And I imagine he would have the ability to acquire status if he doesn’t already hold it.

IOW, treat working class Bermudians as second-class citizens and what do you expect?

“Equality” my a__.

To somebody only making $40,000/year, losing $1,600 is probably going to hurt a lot more than the person losing $8,000 (or nothing at all!) on a $200,000/year salary.

The same for the government paycut…Civil servants across the board took, what… 5%. Those in the upper PS’ got off light while those at the lower end are getting screwed.

Incentive? Um. Not flirting with the poverty line is a pretty good incentive to earn more.

Heck. Losing say $16,000 on a salary of $200,000 is still a hell of a lot better than making $40,000… and STILL being taxed.

I’m not certain that income tax is the solution. It probably isn’t. The point was simply to illustrate that a) we are already taxed and b) the present form of payroll tax can be viewed as producing uneven results.

I think looking into this is a no-brainer for a political party that is trying to be painted as only catering to the rich.

I really do believe the manifesto is lacking any real insight into the economic outcomes of a more socialist agenda.

Point # 11 is interesting, I wonder how this group really feels about equal right for all citizen inclusive of PRCs, guest workers, long term residence etc. or is it just for us Bermudians and everyone else can just leave if they don’t like it.

I wonder how many of us Bermudians it takes to run this community and still enjoy the life style we are accustom to. Visit some social states and third world countries for a real look at life on the other side because that is the future you are asking for.
