People who got rental allowance as a part of their compensation. That part was tax free, I just found that out last week. What made sense now is that people would make the rental payment to a family member, like a wife just to beat the system. Now it nuh mattah ... yuh getting taxed.Originally posted by Gamma View Post

Did I not say the governement would be doing exactly as they have done...with no rational look at the plight of the individual wage earner, the unemployed and underemployed and the flood of 'mouths' that the education institutions disgourge every summer...and then reap the wrath of the voters?Originally posted by Lazie View Post

Unless dem print di money & also lay the base for a properous the future.

Isn't it true that what they are now doing has been tried before? ...by Seaga after he took over from Manley?

Comedy at best.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

Really? These measures were used by Seaga? Last I checked the Tax Reform report was submitted in 2003. Yuh talking bout print money, have you any idea the impact that would have on our economy? Or yuh just talking?Originally posted by Karl View Post"Jamaica's future reflects its past, having attained only one per cent annual growth over 30 years whilst neighbours have grown at five per cent."

Are you a Republican?
Thinking that Obama's running of the presses 24/7 means the funds cannot be sensibly employed and extremely well deployed/used at the same time?

the difference is we have been printing money from the 70s till now.
It nuh better if we produce more and eat more of what we grow?
You think Obama can continue to print money the way he is doing now without us all feeling the effect? Even Obama himself acknowledge that.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth.

Just leave out the repeat of we shall feel the effects of inflation! There is not one of us here who disputes that. It is like saying everyone if he or she lives long enough shall have problems. It is a given!Originally posted by Assasin View Post
Let us deal with the currrent reality. There are peole 'dying now'...i.e. struggling to cope with their current economic realites. Saying to them
is a death sentence! They need food, shelter and the wherewithal to take care of children...family, now!
It nuh better if we produce more and eat more of what we grow?
You must...the government show lead by action...on taking care of the immediate problems...and...big AND...TAKE CARE OF PUTTING IN THE BASE...THE FOUNDATION by and through all its departments - civil and quasi-government departments - at "production" that shall make tomorrow great!"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.

It should teach us all a lesson, Printing money don't stop starvation. Some will argue it is the part of the cause unless you a go print fake US and EU currency.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth.
