		<description><![CDATA[Bloggs. There are two things left in live   They laughter a  alot of tears  oh   ! i forgot pain .
 pain is a wonderful joy when it takes  health  and hard eaned money  out of people  pock you can no laugh and you can no cry but you can sure feel the pain.

  i just had a look at the servey they want to know my age for that    they can go to the TCD 
 or the passport office  fo my birth certificate for that  lot.

 I just have to ask what on earth has my age   go to do with the price of eggs, ask the chicken .
  No more  20  questions. 

 I know the government is trying to do ist best there ar just peoopk like you and i   as i did for them , the but itis not good enough 
 if you hit a block  wall  go  hire an expert or take  a rough guess any thing will do . 

You have to keep your sticky fingers out of our pocket as you all and i mean  all have been riping us off for years .

  You want me to tone  it down  can that be  be any more  than i want to do also just  to tone  it down.

  It  takes  you guys  20 minnute to invent a new tax  you  all say  EYE  !    done deal ,and two years  to amend or pospone  the legislation  .
  Rich people the have invested all they have   poor peopl have spent it .

  For crying out  loud stop  bribing  people with afordable houing gimmick  that is  unles you are going to repeal  import duty  and land tax   stop building up false hopes .

 let me as self appointed old man tell you on behalf  of all the people who   live on this rock ,
 some thing  very  real.

&quot;  The longer this present situation takes,   I will guarantee  the worse it will get  ecomomically for us and  also  the government &quot;.

   You pass the laws, and you can bend them or  bend  over backwards   and delete  them if you have too .
 The price  Government will pay will  to save a nation .

  You have no other  choise but to help  those people not with money gifts ,but with   a proper  business loan , and more  people if you can, who, you will remember those who voted  for you  and put  their faith in you . 

You won the election what more  do you want ?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[COMPUTERS  and A FAIR BERMUDA .

  THe areas want things in Bermuda that are  NOT FAIR  i have lost count.

 don&#039;t go to court you get locked  up for smiling !  contempt  of court  ?

 The people who need permanent assistance , they will will not have a  computer  so the  survey will be selective . 

 What more do you need to know about us,  you  have cameras .

   The cost of living as you well  know  affects the entire population , not just a hand full  of less fortunate people .

 Bermuda&#039;s reputation  is based on  being &quot; Bermuda is too expensive &quot; , being the reason for our visitors going else where people not voting and quitting the island .  we / you need to find ways to  to remove that stigma. permanently .

 You want street talk   &quot;  Stop playin&#039; dumb &quot;. !

  This problem  will not go away just cherry picking at it .

  How many other countries charges land tax ?  Government get its finger in ever working man pocket when it charge payrol tax........ not fair. !

  You are taxing my pension when i buy food by charding import duty . on food    Not fair .
 import duty is non existant  in many other countries who is getting social assistance  from our tax dollars  do you send it out in the mail ?

  Is hardship directly proportional  to public education? dont know how many layers went  to public school?

  All   imports double the price  in BERMUDA when they  get on the shelf here, you know that .   Not fair 

 A  $22,000  car   a major ticket family item listed  as in the USA  will cost when it gets to Bermuda wil list for  $50,000 on  dealers the show room floor  here no breakes there ,and more if  the buyer has to take up a loan .
  Cars are no longer a luxury  if  people have a family.

  Can not  ride a scooter with a 6 week old baby in a box in the back  !

   This whole  fiasco is getting redicouse  and cost more at the T.C.D.  plus   compusary insurance  don&#039;t buy a family &quot;H&quot; class car that will break you. 

 High taxation force business people to increase their rates, also many labor rate are now through the roof.

  Hire a trades man to day you wil per close to $100.oo per hour,  hire a truck you will pay $90.oo for 6 miles .

 Inflation invites recession so were does that get you no less than an up hill battle  then  people fight as you see on news T,V. with their Governments  not a good solution   !
 
  GOVERMENT  SURVEY .
 You may ask 10 people the same question  and you will get 10 different  honest answers what do you realy expect ?

  As  I have said before  the cost of living is not just in  Bermuda it is world wide we hope that  this  is  not goin to be a political party game . we have a way out just take it     TRY TAXATION.]]></description>
