Rama, Burnham didn't enrich himself and his family. When he died, his will was probated and published. The PPP Mirror newspaper published it front page. Burnham's total wealth amounted to Guy$900,000, ie, less than $1 million.
In 1974 there was a rumour that the US Ebony magazine said Burnham was the world's third or fourth richest black man.

Janet Jagan used to subscribe to Ebony and I asked to borrow her copy with the Burnham article. Mrs Jagan giggled girlishly "hehehe" and told me Ebony didn't publish any such article on Burnham. She knew about the rumour and Dr Cheddi Jagan new too but they kept quiet and allowed the rumour to spread for political reasons. But the Mirror dared not publish such rumour because it would have been inviting a libel suit.

In this Internet age you can get past issues of Ebony magazine online. That magazine had published a feature on Burnham in the 1960s but it was positive.

Burnham practised law for 15 years before he became prime minister. He headed the PNC government for 21 years. After 36 years of working life, Burnham died with less than G$1 million.

If Burnham were a wealthy man like Jagdeo, his children would be floating on money today. His daughters are living average lives, however. Just Google their names.

Wally, with due respect, we're discussing Ralph Ramkarran's take on Bharrat Jagdeo's opinion that Cheddi Jagan built his house in an upscale area.

How does detention or jail come in the picture? Are you saying that because some PPP guys like Rohee and others were arrested and detained, they deserve their lavish lifestyles today?

I am not saying that Gil because I like the simple lifestyle of the Jagans.  I saw for myself several times Dr. Jagan cleaning and washing his concrete on Sundays. 

No.

Just trying to give the man a reality check. Words alone not going to move Jagdeo. People of that sort doan leave peaceably.

Them cuss things are emphasis words -said with love. Like when blacks use the N word.

We the people going to inherit the big house. Its going to be a tourist attraction. It would be seen as a small house in a few years. Like JJ's house is to us today. That's the bigger vision. You guys are(myopic) short sighted.

Hollywood said greed is good ( I disagree). But bad as greed is jealously is 10 time worst.

You are confused. Gordon Gekko said greed is good and not Hollywood. His philosophy is a representation of a class of characters rationalizing evil In Christian theology he is lost and not reconcilable with normal human conduct  except after long rehabilitation.

You did the same with Jealousy. I also believed you conflated  Jealousy with envy. Jealousy is a venial sin it is not Envy  which is a mortal sin ie the breaking of a commandant( the 10th) even if one sometimes confused the two.

The former is a sentiment involving emotions involving not having or losing affections. Envy a mortal sin, one involving a broken link with god that is very serious and demands purposeful contrition to be re established. 

And all of this nonsensical rationalization is to presume one is jealous of Jagdeo so one is in some way morally compromised. You are a nut!

Asked and answered unless you are truly as daft as you come across quite often

Let us put Jagdeo behind us and concentrate on the future.  If the Aliiance cannot say what they will do, if they have the reigns of Government, then they will not defeat the PPP, no matter bad they were.

I do not know what you presume they should say that they have not said. It is easier for you to tell us your vision of what you think is absent in their platform since the did say a lot.

They should tell us how they will build the country, because so far they have

done everything in their power to destroy progress and prosperity.

They are spending their time generalizing about the future.

 which means they don't know what they will do.  They are handing the government to the PPP on a silver platter.    Where will they get money from to pay teachers, civil servants, police Force and the Army.  There will br no money left to build roads, houses, take care of floods and fight crime.
