Mr. Bowe keeps pushing "Robin hood' economics.. take from the rich, gve to the poor. the well off spend more money, contributing more tax revenue so why shouldnt they equally benefit from any breaks?
at the end of the day and in the interest of avoiding unnecessary govt expense, one has to wonder if shifting of boundaries could not achieve better voter distribution without increasng seats.
taxing certa8n food is absurd. what about artery clogging butter, deep fried cracked conch, fatty potato salad and macaroni and cheese? Where do you stop? at the end of the day itsa out personal choices. if you want universal health care thrn be prepared to pay for the choices of others.
everyone supports improved healthcare. But, where will the trained EMTs cone from? and when they rush you to the local.clinic where there might be a nurse and no medicine, what then while you await air ambulance evacuation? another patch job.
the thinking by this employee is widespread in this country.. dishonesty, insubordination, playing hookie, etc. amd they really think the employer should just accept it.
The question needing an answer is why an increase at all? aren't these people unionized? they should get what they negotiated and not a penny more. notice how they say thanks for something they wasnt even supposed to get?
who, being of sound mind, would park on a beach anywhere in new providence 11pm at night? doesnt make what happened to them right but you need to have common sense. those days have long gone.
