<span style='font-size: 11pt'>The Large Jamaican businesses want the Jamaican government to reserve special favourable opportunities for local big businesses.
They resent that opportunities normally available to them should be equally available to foreign investors.
Their logic is that local investors should be given special opportunities because they are Jamaicans.
Is that reason enough?
Does local business reinvest their profits locally?
Do they invest in the education and scientific development of the country?
Where are the scholarships and Bursaries given to the Universities.
Do they give Jamaicans the same favourable opportunities they want from government?
Do they give small Jamaican businesses similar favourable treatment?
These are just questions,but very important ones. this is because it is nit enough to say that because my fore parents have been here for so many centuries, I should be faviured,but because There is a greater benefit to the Jamaican economy from that favour.
I have been saying that as far as I see their is no greater benefits to favouring Jamaican business,if they send their funds abroad where they are outside the economy those funds are not available in the economy to be used as loans to further improve the economy.
They employ foreign people not because they are more educated,but because they have lighter skin tone.
When I held a position as a manager at alcan as a young 20 something I was the first native Jamaican that did.
I made sure I groomed other native Jamaicans and today we have many Jamaicans in this position that we now take it for granted. The country has not suffered as a result. Why cant we do this today? why is It necessary to import people because of their shade,and then expect to get favourable treatment subsidized by the tax DOLLARS OF Jamaicans? </span>
