In All situations “the best thing to do is the right thing, the worst thing to do is nothing” this government MUST TAKE ACTION NOW! and come up with an economic plan to assist Belize-an business’s weather this economic storm! harassment of Business people at Customs and GST is not the Solution!!! Belize needs Development Belize-ans needs Jobs All governments must govern and look after the best interest of the Country and it’s People. unless we were born royalty we must all work to sustain ourselves and our dependents this is fundamental! Mr. Barrow act now! in a positive way business people are partners in development not the enemy! lets work together to save Belize from becoming a failed state! inaction will lead us to a failed state status where crime, drugs, poverty,slums,and violence will be all the life we know.

Apparently, the UDP leadership, it’s cronies and so-called first families are basking in the sun, while some in the business sector coupled with many faceless, nameless Belizean populace who are suffering all sort of hardships and financial difficlties due to the global economic downturn and mindless/senseless decisions made by the current Prime Minister and his ministeral cabinet. Currently in Belize it appears we are experiencing the worst of the worst due to this power, hungry avaricious administration. Perhaps these buffoons who are masquerading under the guise of leadership are out of touch with the day to day economic realities of the populace or it maybe that they are simply selfish and don’t give a damm about the current economic situation and ir’s possible ramifications. Wake up Belizeans remember these words, “Imagine the possibilities”. The hass di starve wen di grass (no) di grow!!!

Indeed we are losing money, this year I had to let go almost all of my staff. I know we are going thru a global recession, but Lord!! this government is not helping, instead of creating opportunities they are putting obstacles. My trade license went up the roof, garbage tax now!! they are destroying the business sector, the UDP believe that making money is a sin (except for them and their cronies), and that we the business people are evil…. what now?? what kind of Christmas will we have, I can’t afford to give bonus or even gifts to my employees?? I think I will have to close my business next year, thank you Mr. Barrow!!
