The poor people have nothing and we give away Money.

Each of these should pledge 25% to help the poor. And still have plenty left.

However, that woluld be the right thing to do.????

The patients are running the asylum.

How can any decent person with a modicum of intelligence, support, defend and vote for Lio-nel Fernandez and his PLD gang.

LF this is pathetic. What kind of retard are you?

There are tens of thousands of poor people and you allow this to continue.

LF, aren’t you the least bit embarrassed. Be someone the Dominican people can respect, not a shameless, immoral swine.

to Gmiller; do you think that the man who inflicted the metro on this poor country has even a trace of honor? that has to be the one of the biggest swindles of all time in this country.

They are doing this because they see no effective opposition. They have bought the majority of the mass media. Any sound of opposition is faint and ineffective. We can all grouse about this but these are comments falling on deaf ears. Its a shame on the whole powerless population that a small group, in relative terms, can do so much harm to this beautiful place.

and some folks have the temerity to call this democracy!

To dreadlocks: at least We are better that your country, investments, tourism, metro and other things that your people have the animosity against my country.
Feel so sorry about myself for being RACIST AND REALISTIC................

"To Josean: feel so SORRY about you and your fellow country people instead of praising positive things that are being done in the DR when they are posted in this blog your people always want to make us feel inferior."

When I see the postive things done by this criminal administration I will, until then I cannot make things up!

firstly, JRRubirosa, i guess you assume i am haitian simply because i do not join your chorus and bash haiti. i hardly make any definitive statements about haiti, because i have never been there. i do not bash the dr either: i merely state areas in which i see errors in political judgement. that is called constructive criticism. if you are satisfied with the status quo, more power to you. if it fills your heart with joy that the dr ranks no 129 out of 131 countries in that latest UN education indices, then throw a party! send congratulatory post cards to all members of government, because we rank no 3 in the world in electricity loss. and yes, the average percentage of gdp assigned to education in the caribbean is 4.05%: congratulate Leonel for assigning 1.2%, on average, during his tenure of 7.5 years. thank him for continuing a process wherein dominicans who migrate to the usa to work receive, on average, the second lowest remunerations, colombia being the bottom. if you call that

progress, we measure things by different yardsticks. i have not seen you post one index in which we have improved, yet you make dogmatic statements and deride those who dare disagree with you. but this is supposed to be a democratic forum, so speak your piece!
