Premier Burt speaks very eloquently to this particular (IB) choir, when back at the ‘big house on the hill’ his government is busy finding ways to make Bermuda LESS attractive to do business……. Check out their new Tax Commission….and Walton Brown, our Minister for Home Affairs, said the international business community was “one of the impediments” to a fair tax system in Bermuda. He added: “There are elements in international business who just whine when you talk about a fair taxation system. Our system means that the wealthier segments get a tax break…..”

“rest assured that my government will do all it can to ensure that Bermuda is not only a great place to live and work, but an even better place to make money”

We would all prefer, “my country”. Speech writer American?

Has to be difficult with all the MP’s and Party faithful, spouting such hate on social media, to have delivered that speech with any sort of sincerity or impact. Especially when the Attorney General won’t even come out, publicly to defend the HRA, and HR in defense of the proposed Act.

He certainly read the prepared notes very well. Whether he understood them is another matter. If he wants to pretend Bermuda is open for business, he needs to know what the Immigration Dept is doing to make sure life is as tough and stressful and closed as possible. Open is an alien word to them.
