You might be right and what a lost soul you are. Check this out!!!
Dear Mr Prime Minister,
I begin by stating the following:
1. I will be receiving a tax relief of approximately $400 per month as a result the tax reforms contained in the Budget.
2. I voted against Mr Panday in the last general elections which was basically a vote for you by default.
Now that the above is clear, I wish to give some reasons why I will be voting against you and your party at the next elections:
- To this date, some 15 years later, you have not condemned the attempted coup of 1990.
- The Muslimeen has been given an opportunity under your Government to operate a quarry in Valencia illegally.
- A lot of the crime in our country appears to be linked to the Muslimeen.
- The State has not pursued the claim of $30 million against the Muslimeen.
- You do not believe that an inquiry into the events of July 1990 will serve any useful purpose.
- You once referred to murders in Trinidad as collateral damage.
- You once said that most kidnappings were not real kidnappings.
- Five months ago, you said the escalation of crime was temporary.
- You are currently telling the nation that we must not allow criminals to disrupt our lives.
- You continue to have Martin Joseph as our National Security Minister.
- You believe that we can have population control by watching more television.
- You once called yourself the Father of the Nation. Now you behave as though you are Jesus Christ.
- You were a member of the government between 1976 to 1986 that squandered our oil wealth.
- You are leader of the present government that is squandering our new oil wealth.
- You believe that throwing money at the population will mask your incompetence.
- You also believe that throwing money at a problem will solve the problem. You will not get to the root of the problem.
- You intend to create 15 new State enterprises. More jobs for the boys to fit square pegs in round holes. No lessons from the past.
- Your fiscal policies do not encourage savings and investment. Instead, they encourage spending. They will also lead to bankruptcy, unemployment and devaluation.
- Your populist policies will fuel inflation and negate the $400 tax relief that I will receive next year. It will also ruin our economy.
- Your party is not representative of our country. You had every opportunity to change this.
- You continue to surround yourself with popular people and not necessarily competent people.
- You will never fire the failed Minister of Education.
- You do not believe that every Tom, Dick and businessman has a democratic right to criticise you and your government, whether or not you and your government have erred.
- You continue to encourage the dependency syndrome which has destroyed the lives of many PNM supporters.
- You and your Government see the problems of Laventille and the East-West corridor as misfortune and not the result of failed PNM policies.
- Your strategies for solving our problems are overheating the economy.
- You intend to import labour from Jamaica despite the fact that a lot of the people we classify as employed do nothing at CEPEP and URP.
I could go on and on but I really don't have the time since the reasons are too numerous to mention.
