The following is an open letter to Prime Minister Andrew Holness posted on Facebook (sic):
Dear The Most Hon Andrew Holness,
This is a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the tax break. In all honesty, Mr PM, this is not a tax break, this is a tax smash — a tax mash-up. Mr PM, when I saw my pay cheque yesterday, I hummed a sweet song to the heavens. I feel like a new creation; a brand new man. I borrow from Tanto Blacks in proclaiming that I’m rich, real rich!
Mr PM, up until Monday of this week, I’d spend conservatively, but now that I’m a wealthy man, money is the least of my concerns.
This morning on my way to work I saw a $100 bill floating about on the ground. Mr PM, you believe seh mi step pass di money like any piece a garbage? If this was last week I’d take a mad man to court just to prove that the money was mine.
With this wealth, Mr PM, I will no longer commute to work via route taxis. Weh frowsy car and sardine behaviour a guh? Strictly GadgePro until I buy the Range Rover this weekend.
With this wealth I will not have plantain and bread and bush tea for breakfast ever again. Nope. Mr PM, right now I’m on my way to Cafe Blue for some eggs & bacon with pancake and a cup of cappuccino.
Mi nah lie, Mr PM, mi feel like mi need fi open a small loan company — me alone cannot enjoy di prosperity. Or maybe I should reach out to Butch Stewart and let him know I’m interested in buying some shares in Sandals? I don’t know.
Mr PM, there are so many plans I have for this wealth, but I can’t write it all here. What’s your schedule like this weekend? Now that I’m in the big leagues I think we should catch up over golfing at Half Moon Resort, or maybe we can go visit President Obama and we all have a drink, you decide.
Oh, by the way, Mr PM, if you selling yuh house, mek mi know.

Use the tax break money to buy, build or improve your house!
Earlier this week I came across a letter which had gone viral on social media, thanking me for the tax break. While I found it humorous, I thought it important to remind Jamaicans of the real purpose of giving back more disposable income.
The additional money should be used wisely, and housing is among the best expenditure decisions to make both for you and the economy.
We have made mortgages more affordable and we are partnering with developers to bring over 10,000 housing solutions to market, in addition to developments which are privately constructed. This will create investment value for you, jobs for the unemployed and growth in the economy.
Housing over new shoes!
