That Rowley has made a mess of things is something even the most hardcore PNMites cannot deny...wouldn't stop them from defending him though. Have to agree with PEA's assessment that the negative impact some of those blunders are having internationally could be extremely damaging to T&T's reputation (what's left of it, that is...)

He's also right about T&T not getting value relative to the amount of money that passed through this country from the 2x oil booms under both the PNM and the UNC.

The idea of a tiered system for property tax also sounds interesting i.e. 0% tax on your primary residence, increasing on each additional property you own to 100% tax on the value of the 10th one. Would like to hear more about that.

[sMASH]

somebody did say that they in a property search on sheron, that his list stop at 100 cause that is the max allowed on the list..
exaggeration or not, there are many big shots in trinidad with multiple multiple properties, just for the sake of storing thier monies in the form of properties. that tiered approach will say, go ahead and make the money, but when u do, we will profit too.
and then it caps it off, so u let the competition get a slice of the pie too.

its better than just increasing taxes on everybody with a property. u aint consider if the people inherit the houses, but have a simple income.
PNM property tax seems like just an penalty for trying to live up to a standard.

Promises already being broken.... he will fit right in!

Phillip Says:

Over sixty billion spent on health care between Manning, Panday, Kamla and Rowley, yet we have not one functional public health facility offering value for money.

NOT ONE.

We spend over fourteen million dollars a day for this, to have our people line up like refugees begging for a handout, while the offspring of the bandits who own the medical supply companies living like princes and princesses on their ill gotten gains.

This insanity is the Eye Clinic at San Fernando General.

If you or your loved one had to face this for treatment, would you STILL find a way to justify supporting the two political failures, the PNM and UNC?

We need a commission of enquiry into the administration of public health over the past two decades.

We need to find all our stolen money disguised as medical supplies and bring it back home, and jail those who have raided this country's treasury disguised as government and business community.

STAND UP T&T

Hospital chaotic inefficiency
Citizen reporter captured this story

[sMASH]

[hydroep]

Waiting for some PNM buffoon to say is people fault for living unhealthy lifestyles and thus overtaxing the health care system...

Yes Tax and penalize all those people who worked hard to invest and earn more in property ... and reward mediocrity!
This would really stimulate economic activity.

Class warfare has always been used by politicians on stupid poor people to get them behind their banner. Rich people steer the economy, the middle class peddles and the poor mop a drop.

This is actually a major part of the problem .... When I tell diabetics to stop eating sugar and flour you should hear their response ..... Buh is now you want to kill meh boss ....

Everyone is a sufferer here ... they always bawl how we is poor people ... we is sick people ...
there is no personal responsibility in sweet T&T.

[nick639v2]

Personal responsibility?? Waiz da? Gobbament ain't giving me that

[nemisis]

The rich not taking personal responsibility for anything so Why should the sufferer?

[drchaos]

The rich not taking personal responsibility for anything so Why should the sufferer?

But they do .... When the rich get sick they burdening the public hospitals? When the rich need a home/house they running down HDC forms? The rich using alligator clips to to teif power from the main lines?

When I say rich I mean people with sustainable earnings and investments. I am not talking about the middle eastern narco barons and the morons who get a CEPEP contract and buy a BMW X5 with all the money.

Few months late, but this is absolute hogwash. 100% tax on your 10th property? Tax on the what, capital value? You could imagine paying 10M+ in taxes per year as a landlord because you own multiple franchises within built up areas?

You know what sheit that like would effectively do? Over time everybody would form shell companies and put each of their properties into one, so no one company has more than 1 property, keeping the effective tax rate at 0%, money laundering and tax evasion galore.

And also, owners would buy, sell and trade properties until they could do what Mr SSL doing in sando right now. Buy all the land round mucurapo and keate/sutton street, and then amalgamate it, so you eventually end up with hectare large single blocks owned by a very few people.

Sounds like a normal everyday comment on 2nr.

[sMASH]

Seems like a tax scheme that addresses the uber rich and lenient on the not so much.

It could be a working title, subject to refinement. A policy is not a rule, not a law.

[TriP]

local meme..lol

[The_Honourable]

I must admit, since Phillip make noise about not being covered by local media, Guardian put PEP front page.

Before was just a letter to the editor from Phillip lol.

Kejan Haynes files a formal complaint to the EOC over PEA's comments

[sMASH]

Eoc can't do much there.. As they are not contractually linked.. Haynes need to take it to a civil court.
