		<description><![CDATA[Item 1. Reduce the cost of Government. It is far too expensive for the reduced population. 
Item 2. Make the Government far more efficient. Abolish the Gaming Commission for example. Use IT properly and cut out so much paper. 
Item 3. Agree and accept you cannot control the market price for most goods. Just because you reduce duty doesn&#039;t mean the item anything becomes cheaper to sell. Learn about business, it will open your eyes to things like the cost of spoilage that has to be paid for.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A SUMMIT  will  change to entire economy.

 At a summit which sounds all very authoritarian . 
The delegates will pose for no more  than  photo  opps.
 With excessive  taxation across the board, suger tax is on apart of it , the rest is conservatism do more with less both  being a double edge sword , as  one with  the other together  we dig our selves in a deeper  and deeper hole. 

&quot; If it is not broke do no fix it &quot;.

 Want more money try to go for a luxury tax, you have got boats covered, but not the luxury of swimming pools which has  never been,  but yet to be  an explored  you can tax them and more people will leave the island the rich do not need us  we need them .

  Crime will increase ,we have 35 vengeance killing already  as  money buys every thing .

   Now we get involved with  our strict imigration laws  no body if any body  can win with that one ., there will always be repercussions . 

What is charged out  to the rich also hurts to less fortunate.

  Land tax  for example is the easiest  an most rewarding Government tax to collect ,  they just send out the bill  and rake it in .  
 They  did get import duty on housing that slamed that door  shut ever thing  else  as every thing  is inter -twined by helping one to help another when conservatism is the key to our survival  the other jus in creases prices as you are dealin wit pruden business peope here who creates fear is going bust and puting more  people out of work.

 Build a house , water up where is the lans? for some one.
 pray  tell who is going to maintain  the. building with charge of taxation  and slso to maintenance an insurance a big undertaking for sure . single one family housing   try for two units .
 
  We do not need a summit when their proposals will be voted down by hard core politicians  with a deaf . 

  Ressulting only to discover if you can see through the maze .that  when you add inflation to taxation becomes a burden to those working class people .

&quot;Charity is a wonder full thing untill the money runs out&quot; . 
 Who elected  a  Governmrent in the first place while other showed contempt buy not voting ,that sends a crippeling message we need the suportof every one can you not see that?

 Do you not realize that money does not grow on trees unless its bananas . whic we can no export  the USA doing want them by law.]]></description>

The PLP are Egomaniacs wanting press even though they haven&#039;t actually done anything. They stand there next to althletes, they stand there there when SP broke ground ( but hadn&#039;t actually done anything) . Please stop giving them press unless there is something tangible.]]></description>
