		<description><![CDATA[IMPORT DUTY AND TAXATION..

  i can  tell you about money  as that will control the vote in our 2025  election 

  Here is the proof .

  &quot; Never put your hands in another mans pocket.&quot;  
 
  I can not think of one thing thay comes into this island  that is not DUTY FREE they even got you for the staff of life FOOD.

  We wonder why   we can not keep up with the rent  or the big one &quot; land tax&quot; we paid duty  on building materials before that .

 How many  are they who are now dipping into savings?

 The latest slap in the face came from BELCo the cover up can  from  Mr. Walter who blinked ,alter getting the money from your tax burden you did no get a free ride from  the R.A.  or the monopoly .

 L.E.D. bulbs cost $12.oo each  no saving there ! like  expemsive solar panels buy back that back fired .

  There are many items  that get taxed or licences  after duty is  paid  and there is the double dip.

 You do not need  wonder why Bermuda  is so expensive that is astronomical and beyond all justifiable reason an why visitors go else where  is that the failed formula  of tax the rich  they have  long gone as  those  People have left this island in droves.

 Make us all think twice when we go to vote.

   Bermuda on the 18 Feb 2025  will come to its breaking point, it will be our worst day in  Bermuda&#039;s history.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HOBSONS CHOICE

  Is defined as having no choise at all.

  This is a hard road to travel  or a mountain to climb when there is no money which has been spoken for ..

 That choice  is not what we should consider to be ideal to solve  Governments  problems  there will be those who will be chalenged with  the embodiment of many programs for  either social and / or mechanical  looking for an ideal  solution of public  sustainable ideals caused by others  .

 There are people who  have come forward with a desire  by looking to take  a seat to form  part  if not all of the next Government.

 All we can rely on is their desire of  a persons  with  common sence  and ability  to do the right thing and to be in possession  of good judgement  for thought and opinion.

   May i ask how can each individual can  do  all with out the benefit  of a group of knowledgable suporting group of people   as  advisors consultants.

 There are people  here who are  more the willing to be part of the solution.

 &quot; The most intelligent person  in the world is not the man who knows alot but the man who knows where he can find it out .&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After the election is over i am sure that you aware  that the people are looking for change as thay have done for many  years in  the past .
  They did not say what change  they wanted and left that up to the  elected few with no such luck to the system .

 Far be it that i would  wish  to change out long standing constitution  if that  works fine if not fix it .

 i will mention. what  is missing  id required to to keep  Bermuda  on track.

 Systems and people have to function efficiently.

 I am sure the public want our  tax  money to bear results has the Westminster system got a strangle hold on Bermuda and it people.
  WE ARE NOT CHILDREN 
 Not one business will succeed if ever body showed up being laid back, that can no longer  function  any more . 

  Too many mistakes are made ,  the system is out of control,  budgets  back fire  or  are ignored , much goes un accounted for  time is being abused.

  Bermuda can no longer function properly un less every body towes the line. 

Bermuda needs to function like a well oiled machine  and to do that effectively  we need to be accuntable to one another and accountable to the country  and  the government and its  people.
 The court system has rigid rules .  The country need rigid rules .
  A I will be on on our doorstep  soon .  Bermuda has to be ready for  it .

 Government controls the people time has come for the people to put  controls  on the Government  and to do that the first order of business  is the ACT  OF  ACOUNTABILITY .  to take effect sooner than later . 
  MONEY SEEMS TO HAVE WINGS i do not buy in to that .
   It is our masive  tax dollars that pay  all of Governments   wages  the do not pay us it is our money held in trust by them ..]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE LAME DUCK  HAS NO MONEY MONEY
  I have alway though  that the end was more important than the begning but that is only a half the  truth.
  Three way Devision  with in a Government and our people becomes a quick disaster.

 let me  refer that as it could be  too many cooks in the kitchen. 

&quot; Cats and  Dogs  do not walk on the same road&quot;.
&quot;  Birds of a feather only fly together&quot; .

 A Snap election in desperation  has never been  an ideal situation  for any country .
 People zoning changes  from Parish to  Parish every week  the Parish voting  system  has been failure 

 EG : We have not seen or heard from  an incumbent with  a town hall debate  or vis it this House is years.

  St Georges is not Sandys.
 Bermuda is a country and not a village .

Recently   I wrote an article  an opinion no less here about the game  of chess and the sacrificial  pawn having no value  to be discarded as inconsequential  being stuck with the  hope of placing our voting trust in  other  persons and then sit  back  and  being micromanaged  and  controled .

 You and I are not pawns.

Will the next  four years  be a dream ?

 it will be a like plying the game with&quot; 50 footballs not knowing which one to kick an where to kick it &quot;. 

  Stop dreaming people   with  a government of three  the future reality becomes is a long list of broken promices  sitting  on all of our  door steps .

 Nothing will come true or the  night mare having a  Governmeant  with a slim majority  not with standing we  will have a predominant group of people planing  our destiny  we will call them dictators and with  several others as permanent spectators. 
As it is the majority not the  spectators who  will holds the gold , that is  the way it was years ago and still is today, to day the majority will be responsible for the enormous debt and the parliament and the country  become a &quot;LAME DUCK&quot;  same as being stuck on zero as all our eggs went into one basket  towards the building of our concrete  empire  sad to say progress and quality of life will come to a stand still.

 There is always a price to pay .

    COvid 19  and   Inflation  took most  of our remaining money  what is left  for taxes will go as Mr. Joe Blood forecasts  to  go for interest on our national  debt.]]></description>
