Part 1A
The People's Call

In every country almost every elected official and their appointees have entered the top levels administration of governments and have expeditiously bettered:
1. Themselves,
2. Families
3. Friends and
4. Closes associates

Whether the system of government is democratic or non-democratic the disproportional practice of wealth distribution festers in the system of every state almost unabated, unscrutinized and very well protected by power and/or laws.

This form of practice has survived the ages from ancient, antiquity and perhaps as far back as prehistoric man, this practice is all but new or modern. Today this form of practice is especially noticeable in third world countries where their are no middle classes compared to first world countries where there are levels of all classes, yet the practice is not exempted but less noticeable.

As always and everywhere a small group of people take advantage of the sources of information and opportunity at the top and share the opportunity selectively. The mass population are excluded, marginalized, forgotten, made unequal and non-partners in this practice. When the country experience economical difficulties and hardship the excluded, marginalized, forgotten, unequal are remembered and made equal partners to share in the burden and responsibilities.

The Bahamas does not escape from this form of global practice. The sharing of huge economical wealth and opportunities is quite noticeable and have for decades controlled by a small group of Bahamians at the top of the financial ladder without trickling down to the average Bahamian.

Yet this practice of a few successful Bahamians is happening at:
1. Great cost and starvation to the public treasury.
2. The country resources with very little noticeable improvements.
3. Little or no benefits in the development to the entire Bahamas.
4. Little or no success to the Bahamian people.
5. Etc, etc (each person can add to this).
