THE SYSTEM MAARTEN DOESN'T WANT YOU TO FISH-THEY WANT YOU DEPENDENT ON THEM FOR LIFE SO THAT THEY CAN ALWAY GET YOUR VOTE.

I realize that the ST MAARTEN SYSTEM, doesn't want to allow a man his own boat, and how to fish for himself. It's been going on for so long, that the St Maartener no longer wants to fish for himself. The St Maarten doesn't want to be fully self reliant, when they can depend on our government's half-assed attempts to help them. This is what I see in I LOVE ST MAARTEN! -People who graduate from highschool, and NEVER open another book in life unless it's a romance novel, or tabloid 2) People who believe that they can't learn, so they refuse to even try...it's called 'defeatism', they've been told 4 so long in life that they are 'nobody' and can't 'do anything', and they start to believe it. People have considered me a nobody all my life, I looooove my underdog status, and I use it as a challenge. 3) The St Maarten government DOESN"T want to assist you in getting that boat to fish and support yourself and yours. The St Maarten government, will give that boat to family and friends. Not because they 'love' their family, but so that they can hold it over their family members head, and rub it in their face that THEY OWE THEM. When, as a Sint Maartener, you ask 4 that "boat" to take care of yourself, what they offer you is a loan at Island finance to get a car. St Maarteners CAN'T get loans 4 a mortgage....property price increases/ St Maarteners can only get loans 4 cars (value decreases as soon as you purchase a car) Then you spend thousands every year maintaining that car, so you can't afford a mortgage, so you rent, and can never save. When you go for a business loan, or a mortgage loan, as a St Maartener you can't get it, the superficial idiots always fall 4 the 'car loan' trick, end up indentured slaves, bound by their car payments, driving around in a nice car, but you pay rent, and your stomach growling......St Maarten is 16....or 37 square miles. Why do YOU need a car, and a car note that costs you HUNDREDS every month? Because you want to keep up with the Joneses, and cars are what materialistic idiots love, so that's used as the bait, and people fall 4 it all day. When you allow the St Maartener to have his own boat, he won't have to rely on the government or politician, and with his boat he can sell his product and pay back 4 the loan to buy his own boat, and PAY 4 his car in full- NO LOAN-NO INTEREST PAYMENTS!!!but the system doesn't want you self-reliant....they want you OWING THEM forever. When you try to set up on your own in St Maarten, here's what you get:
-A SYSTEM THAT WILL TRY TO DISCOURAGE YOU GETTING THAT BOAT, AND BEING SELf RELIANT.... they believe you won't vote them in unless you OWE THEM.
-A SYSTEM WHO IS INTIMIDATED BY WHAT YOU MIGHT DO WITH THAT BOAT, ONCE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO LEAVE TO 'SAfE' SHORES Of ST MAARTEN TO SEE WHAT THE REAL WORLD IS ABOUT
-A SYSTEM THAT WILL GET YOU THE BOAT......If YOU ONLY fISH fOR THEM AND THEIRS.
- A SYSTEM THAT WILL ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEND 20.000 PER YEAR ON fOOD fROM THE CHINESE AND EVERY fOREIGN MARKET, BUT WOULDN'T ENCOURAGE IN INVESTING THAT $20.000 to set up your OWN garden, a piece a land to raise chickens etc etcc fOR YOUR CHILDREN, SO THAT YOU CAN INSURE THAT THEY GROW UP TO BE SELf-SUffICIENT AND RELIANT. 
But the outrage is, not only do you allow it, you condone it AND encourage it. How many of your children and grandchildren are talking bout opening their own business and going to college? The conversations I hear are about getting a Bentley, wearing name brand, and the latest bb. and tablet and laptop. That's the conversation you hear in St Maarten. "I want NAMEBRAND"...NOT I want to become a succesful designer who CREATES name brand. And you wonder what's wrong with St Maarteners. The GOVERNMENT doesn't want you educated, they want you dependent and reliant, and you fall for it. I have given up on trying to HELP ST MAARTENERS fish for themselves, when they have the ability and the opportunity to do it, but they would rather recline and BITCH about the system to their facebook friends-who know their opinions already- or they will sit at a bar, staring at the person who is without a boat, but is STILL out in the water wading, still trying to earn a living. Either DO YOUR PART when it comes to this mess, or STfU. And don't COMPLIMENT me and my work behind the scenes, but when you emails your friends, and you think no one knows, its a completely different story. HOW many have emailed me (PRIVATELY/SECRETLY) But would never "like" a comment publicly when I write it even when they agree??? I'm going to start calling out people. Come real or don't come at all.
