The first PLP witch hunt of 2012: PLP vs Larry Smith

This link is the PLP's attempted 'retort' to Bahama Pundit's excellent article, which was mentioned in one of my earlier posts. Click here for his most recent article on BTC. Click here for Bahama Pundit's original article on Bluewater, the PLP's attempted giveaway of BTC to their own insiders back in 2006/7.

Fortunately, Larry Smith at Bahama Pundit has two things that his adversaries possess in short supply: a brain and integrity. This is a blatant attack on a respected journalist who has done his home work on this issue. 

 The PLP don't like the truth on this issue, so they attack the messenger. It is an all too typical PLP tactic straight out of Pindling's drug era playbook! Discredit the journalist trying to talk sense and explain the truth to the people and repeat bogus falsehoods in the media for the loyal simpletons to absorb and parrot. The Republicans in the USA have mastered this technique well. 

As Goebbels infamously observed: "The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over." Educated Bahamians, hopefully, can see through the PLP's crass tactic.

Joseph Stiglitz's recent article in Vanity Fair is an excellent analysis of the western world's  current economic problems. Stiglitz is a professor of economics at Columbia University and a Nobel prize winner . The article asserts a central tenet of modern economic theory that strikes me as elementary . That tenet is that a strong economy is based upon the spending of a robust middle class . That, historically, is what drives consumption . In America, the owners of businesses are short sighted to simply cut taxes to their own class, because their own class benefits most from a flush middle class . What they gain in the short term, they lose in the medium to long term. In addition, they condemn their businesses and the overall economy to more frequent and unnecessary boom and bust cycles in the process. The American economy is undermining its own engine of growth, consumption , in the hapless pursuit of immediate riches for the wealthiest Americans, who need the m...
