June 5, 2013Dear Sir,We are all lucky to have Bob Richards as our Finance Minster.The British and US Governments should not throw stones in glass houses... or at Bermuda, before putting their own houses in order. Their appalling mismanagement of their own economic affairs has plunged them into tidal waves of national debt, just as the PLP did to us when they were in power in Bermuda.These British-US bullies are trying to put the squeeze on vulnerable, tiny, island “tax havens”, and legitimate financial and insurance offshore centres like Bermuda, to help offset their own disgraceful performances.Bob Richards has challenged the Goliath bullies with facts. His actions will attract sensible businesses to the Island. At last we have a brave and sensible Minister of Finance.Well done, Mr Richards.MICHAEL G MARSHSmith’s
