Jamaica Gleaner Commentary
published: Wednesday | May 7, 2003

Tax principles violated
THE RECENTLY announced four per cent cess violates sensible and usual taxation principles. It also batters those who pay their taxes. It does nothing to make those who do not pay their taxes start complying.

The role of the press
RIGHTLY, THE press has been hailed as the guardian of a free, open and democratic society. - Delroy Chuck


Trust and other matters arising
A GROWING lack of trust has been the dominant response to the recent actions of the present Administration. This has been compounded by a deep feeling of resentment. - D.K. Duncan
