The SHTA and other business organizations on St. Maarten are claiming serious job losses in the next few months but one look in the newspapers and you have to doubt if this is really the case.
Earlier this week a major hotel business threatened government with firing staff if something is not done to promote the island. I thought Government was already busy with that?
My opinion is that we have very few scrupulous businessmen on St. Maarten. They don't care about St. Maarten or her well being, all they think about is their profits. This is to be expected since we, as people, pretty much behave the same. Even local businessmen have forgotten to respect and love St. Maarten.
My point is, if we are to suffer job loss in the immediate future how come we have so many employment opportunities every single day in the papers? Am I missing something? It seems to me that many of the businesses are trying to take advantage of the situation, soon we will here them ask government for tax breaks and much more. The thing is that it has been proven that giving the people tax breaks benefit the economy MUCH more than corporate tax breaks, but it's not the people that give donations to politicians, Is IT?
