The rest of your post is just drivel.

Like I said, go study economics and the relationships between Monetary policy and fiscal policy.

Go check out stagflation (PLP managed us into that)

As a black Bermudian I have met foreigners I think deserve a place here over certain fellow Bermudians. And conversely, Bermudians I think deserve a place here over known dodgy foreigners. I have met white women I considered marraige material over black women I felt are not and black women I felt were marraige material over whites I know.

People need to realize it is about the individual not this archaic perspective on things where the basis of understanding is lumping folks into groups and passing judgement. You’re no more civilized than the town idiots of Ye Ole England wielding pitch forks and torches at a monster they could blame their problems on.

People that have the courage to speak up on public platforms deserve to be repsonded to and engaged with respect and reason. And that be whether they are members of the Peoples Campaign, those on the front lines of Government, those on the front lines of Opposition or the leaders in our commercial space.

Anything less than a collaborative effort between these groups amounts too little more than crabs in a bucket. Bermuda does not have the luxury of flirting the implications of that approach.

Do you hate Bermuda and Bermudians ?

I cannot support an income tax system. Bermudians are already heavily taxed. The government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. The size of the civil service is unsupportable for an island this size. Government employs nearly twice as many people as IB, yet IB brings in 95% of our revenue. It is not logical or rational to expect the private population to support government bloat. I cannot and will not support more taxes. And frankly, I don’t have to. If I’m going to pay more in taxes, I will move somewhere where I will benefit from those taxes – rather than what we currently have: an unstable civil service/union which strikes without warning, a broken public education system, crumbling infrastructure, and ministers that spend all their time trash talking each other. No thanks. Given that I’m a qualified professional, I can work anywhere in the world. And whilst you may not care at all about me, you should know that pretty much any qualified professional can do the same. I cannot tell you the number of people who are in my position and would simply move. Who exactly would you have left to tax? Also, most people don’t keep their assets in Bermuda, so you’re not going to have much wealth to tax, except on property, which is ALREADY taxed.

Also, there are lots of opportunities for advanced education. The problem is that many scholarships are not awarded each year due to lack of qualified candidates. If you can’t meet the qualifications to even apply for a scholarship, why are you asking me to pay for your education? Shouldn’t you at least hold up your end of the bargain?

The livable wage is a difficult concept to put into practice. I think most of the campaign’s supporters fail to understand that increasing wages increase our cost of living. Once you’ve applied income tax, you now have LESS money to buy MORE expensive items. That hardly sounds like a promising solution. If I am paying out more in taxes, I have less money to spend in your shop. If you are paying your store clerks more money, you’re going to have make those goods more expensive. When prices increase, demand falls. So less workers are needed, more people are unemployed – more taxes are needed, etc. A vicious cycle where the middle class gets eliminated and the upper class move to calmer waters. Be careful what you wish for.

2. Enough to know you’re an idiot.

As for me being silly, here’s a quote for you.” HE THAT IS VOID OF WISDOM DISPISES HIS NEIGHBOUR , BUT A MAN OF UNDERSTANDING HOLDS HIS PEACE.” (PROVERBS 11,12)

Wake up for your own sake.

If its the Union that one thing if its a PLP/BIU front organization its another issue. Its possible since its a left wing socialist agenda we could be seeing the beginning of a new breakaway party party starting from former PLP supporters!!

To surprise you, I am not apart of it, but now that you suggesting it, I think I will join and become actively involved. Thanks for your suggestion.

Usually so called impartial groups don’t chant partisan slogans.

Just saying.

But they do have some decent proposals while some are just way off target.

One of those “transparent” leaders you so admire was anything but transparent and admitted to being untruthful in order to be elected! I believe he said something like “we had to deceive you”. Yet, you kept him in power?!

Betty, do really think that people don’t know that you benefit from / work for the PLP /BIU?

You replying is about as predictable as Laverne supporting every BIU surprise wildcat strike.

You have a group of people here that claim to speak on behalf of the people and want them to get jobs. At the same time he throws two wildcat strikes in one week.

Please, Chris stay focused – get your own financial affairs in order, run a successful business, lead by example, and then talk to the government about your bright ideas.

In fact if it were not for people standing up for equality,justice and truth, we would still be in slavery,there would still be segregation,and the Portuguese people would still be indentured servants, in this country. So for all the bloggers, who continue to denigrate and criticize the people’s campaign, I can only say to you learn the history of this country, but most of all be thankful for those folks, who have put their lives on the line, so that you can exercise, FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Now I’ll wait for the haters response.
