I have reluctantly concluded that during the Burnham years , there was corruption and thievery .
This however cannot be compared to the massive looting that was perpetrated by the PPP govt.
This new Govt will also steal. Now let us look at the repercussions .
All the money stolen during the Burnham years were spent in Indo establishments since black people hardly owns many businesses . Same during the PPP reign. and at the end of the day , the money always end up with Indians. Afro Guyanese always spend the money and circulate it within the economy whereas Indians builds mansions in Pradoville and hoard the rest abroad .
Indos do not know how to have fun . If you go to the nightclubs in GT , you will hardly see Indo Guyanese there , only Afro and foreigners but all the clubs are owned by Indos
Indos hold on to the money but Afros spend it and why not ?. We only have one life to live
Bottom line ,regardless of who is in power Indos are the main beneficiaries and they will get rich but we do not care and like I said we only have one life to live and we will enjoy it .

You have to look at the reasons why:
1. The Afro doe snot earn anywhere as much as the Indo. Most low paid jobs in government are reserved for Afros. Like police, soldier, cleaners, etc. The foreman, commander, etc job goes to an Indo.
2. If they were paid better they would not need to steal in order to get by. The Indo business owners are reluctant to pay their afro staff proper wages.
3. If one does not have money, why should one splash out on booze? The poorly paid afro cannot compete against the well paid Indo canecutter.
