The above is a representation of the People's National Party's strategy for the island's debt relief. Now, I am no expert in taxation, or governing or anything politically related. What I do know is that the country's economy is in a dire state; people already have a difficult time providing for their families as it is. With the introduction of these new taxes; some on basic food items, it leads to the question "how poor people aguh eat a food?"
There are people out there who genuinely cannot afford the price increase at this point in time. Or ever, to be frank. What will become of them and their families? It's scary to think about the direction in which we are currently headed as a country...

And here I thought you still hadn't posted anything. :)
ReplyDeleteThe problem is we've always been on this path, think about it ten years ago a beef patty was $20, my lunch cost $45. Now? Patty is $105 and $45 can buy me NOTHING!
Back in the day I didn't spend coins, just through them in the piggy bank, now every dollar is sacred and is necessary to make it through the week.
Question is will it EVER change? Cause a this rate we'll soon be paying $5000 for a loaf of bread in the next ten years, if it takes that long.
It is a really sad reality...but I have an inkling we'll turn out like Zimbabwe sooner rather than later
