Lemme Get This Straight

[Bricktop]

Paul Burke owes the government $100 mil in unpaid taxes...he claims he cannot appear in court because he is ailing...and now he is running for General Secretary of the ruling party...

[Islandman]

Maybe someone can ask Nanny P bout it at her next press conference, nuh true Jawge?

[Gamma]

what does one have to do with the other?

[Bricktop]

you don't have a problem with a tax dodger being General Secretary of the ruling political party?

[Muadib]

He is a Tax Dodger ???

[Bricktop]

yes

[Gamma]

of course i do, but since WHEN has that been a disqualifier?

seaga defaulted on some loans, audley shaw had financial issues (went on to become minister of finance) etc...

[Bricktop]

mismanagement of finances is different...one of the taxes the company has failed to pay is Education tax...that means they are withholding from the employees pay and not turning it over to the government...that is fraud

[Muadib]

wait.. first you seh Burke.. den yuh seh Company.. which is it ?

[Bricktop]

one in the same...hence the arrest warrant in his name

[Muadib]

you mean alleged 'Tax Dodger'.. right ?

[Bricktop]

that would be the case if he didn't stand in front a court of law & admit that he did not pay said tax

[Muadib]

owing tax does not make you a Tax Dodger...

[Islandman]

You prefer tax delinquent then?

Still owing tax is one thing. Withholding tax from peoples salary and not paying it over is quite another. Many small business inna JA guilty of that.

[Bricktop]

fraudulently converting taxes that should have been paid to the government is however...look like this thread step pon yuh corn...woieee
