Blacks owned land, they must pay the taxes.

Blacks owned land and paid taxes. Whites owned land and did NOT pay taxes as the sugar industry was exempt. The taxes paid by blacks was supposed to be used for drainage, irrigation and sea defense. It was NOT used for that purpose and many of the sugar estates used to drain water ON THESE black owned lands.

You don't know the history of Guyana so you must cease to babble and make yourself look like an idiot.
