Moncurcool, come on, stop playing politics. I am no fan of Brave either, but he is asking legitimate questions. I have absolutely no idea what the PM is trying to do - and I believe that most non-FNM sycophants do not either. This is not political, this is a legitimate question.

Does not matter, stop with the "this person was bad". Bumbling Bill Allen wasn't all that great either, so stop with the political nonsense. This issues is much, much more than James Smith - as I am sure you know.

Increased VAT was inevitable - nothing we can do about that. And, it is about time that we implement a corporate tax. It is specious to think that as a country we can exist without one.

Porcupine, hasnt Carey spoken out against oil drilling and dredging harbours?

So, in all of your subterfuge and conspiracy theories, you neglected to advise us poor, uneducated folds as to what was up. Would you mind explaining what exactly this was, please?

Can I have a source for that comment please?

I think we are saying the same thing, joeblow, no?

Mark, the government cannot sustain financing small businesses. No government can. What should happen, instead, is that the government should facilitate policies whereby small business owners can create business without having to beg the government.

Which is why we need to revamp our tax policy. I am agreeing with your statement, btw.

You do realize that Jacinda Arden - who took a paycut - makes almost $500,000 a year, right? So for her, taking a "symbolic" paycut means she still takes home over $400,000 per year. Our politicians on average dont make one fifth of her salary.
And, no, many leaders did not take a pay cut during this time, so your statement is not accurate.
