Taxes

Hi good morning taxes is the topic on my mind as how I'm hearing the finance minister of my country coming to give the mid year review knowing all this minister has done since his first budget to now is just raise taxes on citizens. Gas is the thing this man loves to send up so I'm hoping he leaves the price of gas where it is and takes into consideration people have not been given a raise in pay since 2013 so much needed consideration must be given. With all these taxes we have paid since 2015 to present it not the same for normal citizens as grocery prices are high also my Wasa bill has also increased and sometimes I can get water but they telling me all these taxes are for my betterment as a citizen but everytime they tax me its making me come to a standard of living that I can't even  enjoying my payday and the people in charge don't spend on grocery, gas and health care and eat they best speaking of health care Nis has risen under the present government but that is also for my benefit but the hospital in my country don't give medication to poor people they give you a paper to go to a pharmacy and if you have money you get it and if you don't you have to wait till you get money put my Nis is up so who is all these taxes benefiting not me can't even go and buy some ice cream when I get paid causes is tax tax tax but if the only way to get money in our treasury is to tax citizens then we need proper management and that's food for thought and till the next one this has been Chris discussing daily topics.

Fashion

This topic come from the Billboard Awards that I happen to view last week. On the pre-show I saw many stars but the stars that stood out to me was the likes of Terry Crews, Jenifer Hudson the Jonas Brothers and the Goddess of WWE Alexia Bliss. Terry Crews looked the part in his outfit but the way the man is built anything can fit the man and he looks goods. Jenifer Hudson look adorable in her outfit while doing her interview not to be left out the Jonas brothers looked as sharpe as always now these boys to me have always been really good when it come to fashion sense from ever since I can remember these boys always know what to wear, Nick Jonas wife  also looked lovely as always and to finish off the list that caught my eye I saw the resident Goddess of WWE at the pre-show and she really looked like a goddess these were the superstars who fashions wear on the night caught my eye not saying all the rest of the superstars didn't look good but these were the stars that caught my eye.

West Indies Openers

Hi good morning the topic today is the success of the two West Indies Openers coming off yesterday win in Ireland. Let's start off with John Campbell who struck his first Century at international level in a well constructed innings and in a record opening partnership in One Day International cricket so well done to him and hopes he comes up with a lot more. And let's talk about his opening partner Hope let's remember ourabout two years ago our best batsman that we ever produced Brian Lara said he was one for the future and Mr. Hope has certainly delivered at the international level his 170 was a master class innings with lots of good stroke selections, this century give him 5 ODI centuries and as I stated when the world cup team was named he was going to be a big player if the West Indies is to progress in the May 30 to July 14 tournament. Hope has all the qualities to be one of crickets best batman and I hope he proves it in the World Cup, well done two these two fine talents and yes I know it was against a lesser know team but Hope has centuries against higher rank teams like India and Bangladesh so we take nothing from his performance, this was a short one today so till the next one this has been Chris discussing daily topics.

Neutral Speaker

Hi good morning today's topic Neutral Speaker for the Parliament of my country. For the longest while I have been waiting for someone to write about this but I haven't seen anyone doing it so I take a crack at it as I state two days ago the member of parliament for Princes Town was put out by the speaker of the house of representatives but she is a member of the ruling government but every government puts a speaker who is a member of their party when elected and I believe this should stop. Parliament is a place to discuss the people issues and if you have a neutral speaker things might run better because no one will have a side you just there to do a job in cricket both umpire are from to different countries from the countries that are playing each other the same applies in football and they same must be applied for our parliament, let go back to when the member of parliament for Princes Town was speaking and got deep into the water problem he was put out by the speaker of the house a know member of the government cause his statements were making the government look bad now if it was a neutral speaker it might not have ended up in this so there should be some thought on changing this system for the people to be represented without their member of parliament being kicked out. This is 2019 and certain things that used to work long ago can't work now, parliament is a place where issues need to be discussed not swept under the rug when things get to personal. A neutral speaker would mean he has no side to the government or opposition he just doing his job and making sure the house of representatives keeps going during debates so they people of the country will benefits because the people must not be ignored hope this matter is taken serious in the future well that my topic till the next one this is Chris discussing daily topics

May Day Celebration

Hi good afternoon the topic above May Day Celebration. Yesterday is was standing in a May Day celebration in my country and was listen to the leaders of various trade union talk and they said that they were willing to keep up the pressure on the government for workers but to me for the last couple of years the government have always been one step ahead of the unions in my country, as I stated in one of my earlier blogs their have been a lot of workers being send home and these union leaders have don't nothing to help the workers keep their jobs but yesterday the said that they would continue to pressure the present government for workers but I've heard this time and time again but when it comes to seeing action I haven't seen nothing coming now I'm not saying start a roit or any things to bring harm to people or citizens but to me the unions have been losing this battle hand down and workers don't seem to have the faith they once had in these union leaders so standing up there and stating to wage war to me wasn't the best statement. Worker often join unions to help them save gaurd their jobs but when you see workers in union going home and the union can't save their jobs it frightening to say the least, at every turn the government continues been in front of these union leaders which brings their current statement which is government hates the labour movement and are trying to destroy workers but even if that is true I believe the current labour leaders are not like the people they took over from and lack that fire to represent workers and make sure they keep their jobs so people don't have faith in unions like 20 years ago, I'm not saying all the union leaders are bad but to me our best union leader in this country right now is Waston Duke he has fire and conviction in his duties he is the P.S.A President currently and has fought hard we need some more union leaders like him to bring back people believing in unions and get back the massive crowds like when Errol McLeod and Jenifer Baptiste- Primus used to be speaking in those days it's was thousands of people marching and they hard more ideas how to help workers keep their jobs and they were always on step ahead of the government in their time I hope my country gets back union leaders like them soon for the sake of our workers. On that note I done for today but I like to thank everyone who takes time in their busy day to read my blog I really appreciate it and till the next one this has been Chris discussing daily topics.

Protesting for things you want

Hi good morning my topic today is protesting for things you want. Now in my country it seems like if you want something like you have to go out there and protest because like you don't get anything unless you take this course of actions, now this shouldn't be as in every country in the world has a government to serve the people because everyone know it's people who puts a government in office now let's brake down how when you vote for a party how you benefit their lives, they get a raise in pay with immediate effect, the get access to fly in and out of any country in the world and stay at the best hotels, they get the best health care while when you sick you have to foldup on a chair in the hospital and wait for hours to get attandence and far from finish on benefits they get but not leaving out this one they get to eat and drink the best food while you eat bread and butter, and you what put them in office gets nothing near to this luxury life you are instantly forgotten and have to beg to see them and when you do get to see them they give you five minutes of their time if so much now that should not be that's what leads to the various protest because people and to be honest poor people who do these things are never rewarded for helping you get to live like a public figure these are thing I would like to see stop go back and help the people who help you get in this position don't let them have to beg you and protesting and then you telling them be patient and hoping it blows over so you would have to do your job this is 2019 and I hope people are seeing it people who put a government in office by voting so people don't take yourself for granted you have the power to who represents you, gone should be the days of people holding protest in the hot sun, sometimes for days you protesting and frustrated and hoping the media comes to show your story for the rest of the country and world to see while they kick back under air condition in their office that ain't right in this modern times so let's start moving together and making better decision so authorities would know we want representation on that note till the next one this has been Chris discussing daily topics.

Water problems in South Trinidad

Hi good night the topic today is water problems in South Trinidad. We were told this year it was going to be a very dry season in my country for who don't know I'm from Trinidad and Tobago and right now people in the southern part of my country are without water and doing some protesting to see if they can get some relief. Today the member for Parliament  for Princes Town Barry Padarath was put out from parliament after speaking  about the residents water problem that being said he had been with these resident and hearing their cries and complaints so he was just trying to help out the residents struggling to get a water supply let's take a minute's to say thanks to the member for Princes Town. Now let's see what will happen over the next few days to see if these residents will get some water, I'm also seeing on the news tonight a resident from this same area stating he has 16 tanks and 15 are empty there are also reports that schools in this district are being closed for lack of water supply now the government can't create water but I believe that things must not have to reach to this for people to get water in their homes these are people just like me and I believe better has to be done so we don't have a repeat of this problem, we are still in our dry season and our water stations can't produce water like how we are used to but this is a serious problem people in South Trinidad are currently going through, hoping this problem is fixed as quick as possible and I hope someone looks into this matter on that note that my topic for today till the next one this is Chris discussing daily topics
