That's purely subjective, in fact disingenuous at best, even in your green-tinted dark shades. Both have been leaders in their own right.Comment

OK..here's to you:
(11) Air Jamaica was originally a state enterprise and then privatized with government as a minority partner. According to former prime minister, Bruce Golding, “Since its inception in 1969, Air Jamaica has accumulated losses of over US$1.4 billion or J$126 billion. In the last 3 years alone, it has incurred losses of US$337 million or J$31 billion.” (February 11, 2010. Statement to Parliament by Hon. Bruce Golding, Prime Minister on the Privatization of Air Jamaica)
Though essentially a private company, the government nevertheless stood guaranty for all the loans and losses of the Airline because of its minority involvement. In other words, lenders would have no need to care whether the company was insolvent or not since government had guaranteed to pay back the loans. [The constitution guarantees that sovereign debt has first claim on the consolidated fund.] The principal owner of Air Jamaica, Gordon Butch Stewart and his Sandals company have benefitted tremendously even if Air Jamaica lost money. The public debt kept growing in tandem with Air Jamaica losses.
Should there be a special tax on the profitable tourism companies lavishly subsidized from public funds? Should all the loans borrowed be investigated to see who really benefited? The answer is a resounding: yes.
[“Despite the downturn in the economy, Sandals Resorts International experienced one of the best years on record in 2010. Interview with Butch Stewart” http://www.leadersmag.com/issues/201...rnational.html
“Air Jamaica: end of an era 'The little piece of Jamaica that cries' Friday, July 08, 2011” “The story of Air Jamaica's contribution to the economy, on one hand, could be told in soaring figures. At its peak, the airline carried 69 per cent of all persons travelling to Jamaica and 52 per cent of tourists visiting the island. On the other hand, the figures by themselves could not tell the entire story. The airline lost approximately US$674 million during AJAG's 10 years of operation, representing an annual average loss of US$67 million”

Great...which party agreed to the deal with Butch in 1994? Air J lost $674 million during Butch's 10 year tenure and after turning it back over to the then government (which party was that again?) had more than US$900 million loses in a 3 year period...I am not that great at math...interpret those figures for me please...thanks...Last edited by Bricktop; December 6, 2011, 06:39 PM.Comment

That's a huge step, a great extrapolation and grossly unfair condemnation. I hardly think anyone here has any personal grouse with the man to extend it to hate. Is that what you feel when you disagree with someone's position or behaviour?Comment
