Comment: Any fool can criticize sir. But it takes real wisdom to come up with solutions. Blaming the government and highlighting the flaws does nothing but destabilize the country. The article was too negative in its delivery and too strongly politically skewed to be viewed as anything attempting to improve the country's state of affairs. It is merely building on the growing woe of citizens caused by negative media putting them in a false state of desperation and hardship and worsening the country. This was a big, politically skewed waste of time which could have proved beneficial if this old man had simply cut out his bias views.

Comment: "Is better we discuss this situation and status" You seem to be a talker and talk your way through life. What is discussing going to do without sound solutions. AGAIN I QUESTION HIS AGENDA! He was a strong supporter of out economic condition once ago. YOU GUYS ARE THE SAME ONE WHO HAVE US IN NATIONAL DEBT,WANT WANT EVERYTHING FOR FREEEEE AND DONT PAY BILLS GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR NON SENSE. In America ppl pay taxes on Income, Food, EVERYTHING. THEY RIGHT TO INTRODUCE VAT AND U MUST PAY UM!

Comment: @INTELLIGENCE, let's see u on judegement day repeating those same words to the KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS.U full a mouth now because u have ur strength but just wait til sickness or death creep up on u, then u'll be begging for prayers from the same "ignorant fools". The more I live the more I see the Bible manifested. U are the fool because the Bible says "the fool says in his heart there is no God" - As God's Word rightly says "the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing..."

Comment: I agree with the CIC but also question the sanity of who decided to make that appointment.

Comment: Two highly intelligent young men. it is a shame that the two are not in parliament working together, instead they are in the court fighting for one seat. What a waste of intellectual assets.

Comment: it is so sad that such a thing has occurred because I was told that people in Trinidad were reimbursed because the government took actions immediately. I am one of those who have lost all my savings. I never trusted insurance companies and had i not listen to others about joining I would have been better off. Now I lost all my investment and VAT is on its way. No fear God is near.

Comment: Very nice article. At least there are still persons who think for themselves in our country. Now, on the VAT issue, the point is for the gov to generate income to service the national debt, correct? So why is it that persons buy into this "replacing consumption tax will cut down taxes" scheme? No matter how you turn it, the tax we are now paying is obviously not enough! So this is the in-genius way of shuffling the taxes and making it seem as a reduction, while in the end WE WILL PAY MORE! That's right! I just hope and pray that our nation makes it through the next 5 yrs, if not...looks like income tax might be in the governments future plans!!
