The proposed new PIT (Progressive Income Tax) on salaries is addressed and the effects on the humble Seychellois as he manages to climb the ladder to senior management. Is that a disincentive for able Seychellois to remain here to work for the island he or she calls home?. Also discussed is the urgent need to redress the sad situation of theft, violence and crime, which is overtaking the lives of many locals and the bullying behavior that is a learned behavior with the need for our leaders and role models of today to rise to the level to make Seychelles proud.
