GTAngler, I bet you pay more taxes than that.
Bibi,
Seriously how do we justify super salaries for the politicians in Guyana,should it not be what the country can afford,these fellas get a lot free stuff with their salary.
What is a super salary? As far as I know, only Nagamootoo and a few others are earning a super salary. I believe the average salary of a Minister is about $USD 40,000 annually. Do you really think that is a lot of money? Look at you who can barely read and write bragging about how you live in a white neighborhood and own how many buildings and businesses.
When are you people going to stop comparing Guyana to the United States? Let's get back to relativity. $40,000 US is approximately $8 Million GY. Now what's that minimum wage again?
The world is not a Utopia. I would not compare someone who has no skills and earns a minimum wage to another person who is educated and skilled in a professional job. NY minimum wage is $15.00 an hour and those Wall Street guys are earning millions. I don't see you crying about that.
