PNM in Gov't(2015-2020)

[matr1x]

Well Scarfy claiming not enough money to keep people employed. The Syrian business community have enjoyed large tax breaks and other incentives. Multinationals to a even greater extent. We are bleeding and its time to stem the flow. That and needless social programs

[eliteauto]

Anti-Syrian stupidity rears it's head again. Private sector incentives are a normal internationally to encourage business. The same groups you rail against contribute more to here financially than you do

[sMASH]

They get a big chunk, but in that a lot comes back to the people.

Same reason I say giverment needs yo ensure people remain employed.... But government is dotish.
Thank Eric Williams that the syrians taking up the slack.

[Redman]

Some how EY,PWC et al did not highlight a 'Syrian' tax break in any of their budget analysis documentation in the last 10 years.

but its moronically fashionable complain about 'the syrians'

[matr1x]

Ah the pnm stooges came out from under Marlene. Must have been a long journey.


If you have no idea how their cartel has been gaining exclusive access to usd, been allowed to shape legislation (property tax and online purchase tax), alleged high level drug and weapons movement. Then clearly you are either stupid, or really really gullible

[Redman]

If by now you eh realize that none of those 'advantages are uniquely accessible to the syrian community...then you eh paying attention.

this is 2017 fella, there are multiple cartels.

Multiple people/interest groups/races/cartels have that access.

[matr1x]

uh huh

Keep trying to sell that loo

I know your party financed by them, but you can't be blind

[Redman]

Name one party that isnt.

[Dizzy28]

Name one party that isnt.

New National Vision

[matr1x]

Let's rephrase : pnm owned and service them like pets. Pnm commentators dare not say a bad thing about their Syrian masters

[MaxPower]

Syrians should not pay any taxes at all.

[matr1x]

They don't pay their fair share. I should say, they don't pay taxes on their TRUE earnings

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Gregory aboud would be displeased with how allyuh talking bout his people

[aaron17]

Rowley was on platform and they were asking him about crime. Then he said this:

[hydroep]

After all dem complaints I like how he shut dey arse up:

Dr. Rowley: "Should I call the election now?"

Point Fortin Residents: "No!!!!"

[$h@dy]

Residents fix their own potholes

WHEN the potholes developed along the road outside their homes, the residents of Avocat Village, Fyzabad didn't bother calling on the Works or Public Utilities ministry. They fixed the holes themselves.

So this makes it OK for the Syrians?

Tax breaks are usually announced in the budget. The Issa Nocholas group turned sod on a parkade at 15 Chacon Street, POS. The tax incentive on this is 200% so every dollar spent they save 50 cents on their investments. Persons in here in finance can explain this better than me.

Those guys pooled their resources, and got cracking on incentives. Parking is not the only area where you get tax breaks or incentives. So you get tax write off while you are making money.

That is good sense, although there is a school of though that these guys are Jews who are aledgely crooked when it comes to finance. Our in-house finance persons can enlighten those of us who are ignorant on related financial matters.

Coming back to the Project Manager, he is advising because of the so called down turn in the economy, Civil Servants may again be TARGETTED for lay-offs, VSEP and the like. Why when there is a problem it is always the Civil Servants first. The Civil Service is a necessity and ought to be strengthened with training, better working spaces, incentives. Overtime to this group was curtailed in 1975 and is yet to be restored. The jackass notion of giving persons compensatory time off does not fill your belly or gas tank when you work on a weekend or evenings. That is why we will continue to fall behind as what can be done on an evening after break-off time remains to the next day or if it is Friday, it remains till Monday.

FUN FACT:

When the NAR offered VTEP, Voluntary Termination of Employment, many senior civil servants accepted and left the srevice, with their years of skills, supervisory, managerial, and other skills necessary to drive the economy. So it took us thirty years to recover and still nursing deep wounds in some sectors that will take more time to heel.

You want to send people home, we may not recover this time. So everyone think about this, speak to someone who took it, weigh the PROS AND CONS, its' effect and so on, as the scenario will repeat itself.

Do not say it. I will. As usual I am preaching doom and gloom .........................

I agree that all should be held accountable, but let's not fool each other. The lion's share of the drug trade is handled by them. If they are responsible for 75% for the drug trade, and the others are 25%, don't try to make it 50/50
