Like ants to fat

Dear Editor,

Haven't you found it simply amazing that, particularly at times of an expected "shower", ants emerge from their invisible nests and will just instinctively find our precious food, wherever we put it?

Observedly, so too is the instinct of the People's National Party (PNP) and their invisible cohort towards public money.

This is apparently true, whether their cravings are incited by public funds sourced through taxes, trusts, domestic and international borrowing, bilateral and multilateral grants or donations.

God did indeed create phenomenal instinctive creatures. And, can you imagine if the lobby for a reduction in the primary surplus target is successful; effectively putting more money in their hands? They must be drooling at the prospects.

Let me decIare that I make my observation as an unrepentant socialist from the 1970s, only now imbued by a sense of betrayal and embarrassment with regard to the faith and expectation that, especially the wider mass of poor black Jamaicans, had vested in the PNP over the years amid their wanton custody of that trust.

But, of course, power hath no conscience and greed is perpetual.
