We have always claimed that the Labour party''s mission is to keep people poor to satisfy their claim that they are the Government of the poor. Today we will address only one example that supports this view.

At the closure of the Sugar Industry, we expected to hear the Prime Minister roll out a plan that was sound and that would tap the collective resources of the Sugar workers so that working together they could achieve much more than individuals working alone.

The Prime Minister however, drunk with political power and arrogant as usual, herded the sugar workers who were very hopeful and in need of sound financial advice, into the Factory Social Centre away from the cameras, to deliver what was the worst advice that any unsuspecting poor people should have been subjected to. The Prime Ministers influence is well known and his advice to unsuspecting people carries weight and with it consequences or better yet outcomes.

Isnt that ridiculous, thoughtless, heartless, careless, foolish advice? Did the Prime Minister not realize that persons following his advice would ultimately dispose of all their income and remain in their state of poverty eternally? On the other hand perhaps that was well planned so as to keep them poor in order to claim to be champions of the poor.

If you are reading this article you have an opportunity to disagree but we contend that our Prime Minister failed to see the bigger picture and so too has his Cabinet. We contend that they have missed a golden, glorious opportunity to direct the path of our sugar workers into becoming the Nations next set of millionaires.

Had the Prime Minister announced that initiative, the Holding Company would have raised a Capital of $8.4m based on the disbursements announced by the Prime Minister and there would have been an immediate gain of 12% from the transfer of the twenty acres of land all to the benefit of Sugar Workers.

Moreover, this initiative would have given the workers a bigger stake in the country and in particular in the Tourism plant that is the largest foreign exchange earner in our economy. Further, well needed employment would have been created for some sugar workers themselves and their children and the Nation as a whole. In addition, annual dividends would have been derived and over time the value of the assets would be such that each small sugar workers investment would realize untold wealth for themselves and their families.

We take this opportunity to remind you as readers that our own National Bank which began in 1971 with a meager Capital of $250 thousand, now claims to be the largest indigenous Bank in the region with assets exceeding one billion dollars.
