Create the impression they are working hard, eg the airport investigation and benefit of AC35, but when the result doesn&#039;t fit the game plan keep quiet.]]></description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>De last recognizable foreigner that lead our island around by de nose was Dr.E.F Gordon and look where it got us, Organized Representation for Disenfranchised Workers, which consisted of, a lunch break, sick pay, vacation pay, maternity and paternity leave,forced Government to have a pension, insurance plan, etc.<br />
It&#8217;s like you ask a certain segment who is better, Trump or Obama.<br />
Some people STILL think Obama is worst.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[It is unfortunate that they believe the only place opportunity lies is within government action.  The job of the government is to tax - get ready people higher taxes are coming.  Your raises will be matched by tax increases.  Save yourselves and demand the size of the government be reduced.  Without true equal opportunity it always leads to the rise of groups like this.  In other countries there have been and are far worse consequences.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What the Peoples Campaign is advocating is good old fashioned socialism. Unfortunately, it has never worked yet.

Your suggestion that everyone position themselves to earn a livable wage is good on the surface, but it fails to take account of the fact that people come with varying abilities to work, and those varying abilities are not purely knowledge based. Some people do have limited academic abilities, but some people with outstanding brain power also have substantial family commitments and cannot work the hours that other people can.

The &quot;p.s.&quot; is simply an attack on a perceived class of Bermudian girls/women and is neither helpful nor an accurate reflection of our problems.]]></description>
