		<description>Dear SN ,, 

i have this very urgent question to ask ,,,,,,,

Do you act on the directive of the PPP or the GOVT -- albeit them being one and same -- to ,, &quot;axe&quot; my post ,, or do u do it to protect u and i ??????

cos i read two comments who are in support of the idea ,, to not bring the lines to the coast ,, and then like mandrake they have been relegated to the choppers block ,, and disappeared ,, or u killed the theory ,, since if they do not bring the lines to the coast ,, u will have to relocate ,, ???</description>

		<description>Tannasee
Whether your comments were misplaced or not, you still make absolutely no sense. This forum, I believe is to offer, share opinions and for the edification of many,  like me, who want to be ENLIGHTENED.

My goodly language teacher once taught me that communication, to be understood and internalised, should be kept SIMPLE!!!

If you wish to continue with your highfalutin, archaic mumbo jumbo go to some university and teach philosophy and whatever else you&#039;re so good at.

PEACE OUT!!!  BTW you should also learn to spell too</description>

		<description>In the least ,the vat should be REDUCED.The revenue collected exceeded the projected estimate by 75%.Who calculated the tax rate. What a fertile ground for for dishonesty.What percentage was not collected but not paid over to the tax  collectors?</description>

		<description>It is obvious you did not undewrstand my post james and thanks Kaieteur Gold for enlightening him. the points you raised are encapsulated in my arguement of the issue of credit tightening (Synergy) and remittances (money sent home to guyanese...impact: no money to spend since pay in guyana &quot;cannot do&quot;, low sales, business men cannot pay back loans either to banks or drug lords and so on. This is how it will affect Guyana but a quick analysis will show that the elasticities are low and in some cases inelastic (economic speak, gotcha yuh!!).

It is hardly likely that Synergy can raise that kind of money on the open market now or even if things were fine in the financial sector. The cost of capital (re: ERR) is quite high and the rate of return (re: IRR) will have to be even higher given that the government will not pass through any subsidies (maybe they will at both the capital and recurrent side since Jagdeo only know about tax consessions for attracting FDI). Even if the financing is found, can Guyanese afford to pay for the energy? I did some economic and financial work on this project in the 1970&#039;s and doubt whether the market has grown that considerably big enough to allow for pricing to be based on marginal costs. Then the project envisioned to sell power to Suriname and Venezuela (if my memory of the detail serves me right). these countries now produce their own demand and have capacity for ranching up output as needed.</description>

		<description>Sagga we are not uttering nonsense we are trying to educate you how tax works. For your info the consumption taxes and other taxes were either removed or reduced to accomidate VAT. And every developed countries in the world have to pay taxes. I ask you one question If the gov&#039;t take away the VAT and other taxes who will pay the public servants? The gov&#039;t is already subsidising gas.</description>

                        I must agree with you on this, this brother must be directing his comments to a much more evolved audience, his logic passes way over my head.

		<description>The comments made by GEORGIE are the most realistic I have seen on this particular discussion thread.
I note the FBI investigating 4 firms at the centre of the world economic turmoil emanating from Wall Street…
http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/09/24/business/24inquiry.php?pass=true
Yes indeed, FBI will spend 10years preparing 10,000-page report naming nobody in particular even though we know the public has been robbed.  Talk about corruption?

Everyone knows that President Jagdeo has offered to rent the Guyanese rainforests to the UN et al in order to keep planet earth breathing and ……… the silence from the world’s polluters is deafening!!!
Guyana is not asking charity.   Guyana is offering to provide something essential for payment in return.
But as GEORGIE says, this kind of self help is NOT REQUIRED.  
The rich countries expect the poor countries to buy THEIR output at a price THEY determine.  
How did you think those rich countries got rich?
The UN does indeed do some good but mostly it is a joke.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The comments made by GEORGIE are the most realistic I have seen on this particular discussion thread.<br />
I note the FBI investigating 4 firms at the centre of the world economic turmoil emanating from Wall Street…<br />

		<description>The people of Guyana are to blame for its ongoing morass, not the government. Because it is the people who keep choosing partisan governments EVERY BLESSED TIME. 

Do we really care about our country? We come here to check up on the news so maybe we do care. Maybe. A little. But if you want to strengthen something, wouldn&#039;t you start with its weakest link? What would you say is Guyana&#039;s weakest link?

I don&#039;t have the answers, guys. Perhaps nobody does. But I think it&#039;s time we start asking the right questions. Because as far as I am concerned, the only thing Guyana truly lacks is an excuse.</description>

		<description>VAT is too much since the govt does so little.  so where is the VAT going anyway.  Guyana is corrupt (no debate on that) and the VAT is a feeding ground.  i believe that the govt has a right to generate revenue but the VAT is not the way to go since duties are very high already. PEACE!</description>

		<description>That day will never come for Jagdeo to walk in Burnham shoe.
Burnham was a President with vision.
He was admired by those around the world.
Jagdeo said he can do better at his out reach speeches during election.
What has he achieved since?
More crime, VAT killing the poor man, contracts given to whom?, no improvement on hospital, no improvement on the roads due to poor contractors -bridges collapse
Children died in pit latrine, school not started on time and I can go on and on.</description>
