Dear PM,
It is very unfortunate that you seems not to be man of your words.
On one of your talk shows with Senator Colin Browne, you made a proposal that each person can pay $100.00 additional towards our vehicle license for the funding towards the refurbishing of the nations roads.
I am sure, for the love our country, we the citizens & residents were all gearing up to make that contribution when that time comes. Surprisingly and disappointingly so, I cannot believe my ears that we are now told to pay 40% more of what we are presently paying for our vehicle licenses
For my vehicle license 40% more would carry me to almost $300.00. Hence I will now be paying approximately $900.00.
The lyrics of the two songs immediately to mind:
BILLS, BILLS, EVERY DAY by the late Mighty Arrow
So much bills to payMan can’t see their wayAs you done pay oneA next one come
Bills Bills every dayBills Bills man can’t payWater bill to pay,Grocery bill to payLight Noll to payPicknie bill to pay.NOW, MORE LICENSE BILL TO PAY.
THE POOR MAN A FEEL IT by Peter Tosh.
Gotta find a solution to this pollutionThe poor man a feel itGas gone upBus fare gone upThe rent gone upFor meal gone up?Lighting gone upThe tax gone upCar parts gone upAnd mi can’t take the first lawonly him feel it – yeahTime gone upScallion gone upOnion gone upRed beans gone upBlack pepper gone upChicken gone upAnd the parents them angryCause the pickney for them hungry
PLEASE PM Browne, reconsider this amount of a 40% increase. It is certainly too much for our pockets.
Alex
