		<description><![CDATA[I keep hearing this mantra from the PLP, but it is BS beacuse:

The Quango that does the housing, would still be doing the housing under any government. So that is moot.

The payroll tax has increased under the PLP Reign, there may have been some very small reductions tweaking, but overall since the PLP took power payroll tax has almost doubled and for everyone it has increased.  

The duty reductions in staple food items has an insignificant impact on the food bill, most of the items were already very low import duty. the PLP indtroduced a sugar tax which PUNISHED Bermudians and the cost of that outweighed manyfold the tiny import duty reductions given by the PLP.

The relief given to workers that were displaced by Covid, was a DIRECT RESULT OF PLP SHUTDOWNS and decisions that dragged out and restricted revenue coming into Bermuda from Visitors. What is amazing is that when the deaths ramped up the PLP didn&#039;t shut down or place any restrictions. Also any displacement caused by the government whoever they were would have resulted in compensation, because it is the right thing to do on the one hand and if the govt didn&#039;t there would be many many lawsuits. 

Now that has been given context , what else do you claim the PLP have done ?]]></description>
