Why now?

By Rootsgirl
Rasta-Girl-Posters.jpgReading the paper the other day I couldn't help but think to myself that this government is excelling when it comes to pressuring the poor. For donkey years the people of Portmore have been operating their bars, shops, hair salons, and doing their juggling to make a living...now at a time when the recession is battering everybody, they decide they are cracking down on them.


They claim they will have to stop operating businesses in their homes...although the homeowners have agreed that they will even pay a fee if it comes to the test.
Considering that a lot of folks are losing their homes, jobs and fighting hard to keep their heads above the waters it really sucks.
With their borrowing relationship back on with the IMF it is anticipated that things are gonna get tougher...so leave the people them let them try and make a living the best way they know how.
