This new industrial park will attract 65,000 jobs

I got your point Benardette, we are too far behind in every directions regarding Haitians life style.
Sorry to say that, i don't see anyway out for that kind of life style Haitians deserves.
But we need to start now not later, it's the only way to accomplish more or less that life style we deserve as human being.
Like I said the percentage of the middle class is small.
Jean Pierre, I also think that you are aware that money is one aspect of being middle class, there is also education, style of thinking associated with a middle class, school attended, neighborhood lifestyle and membership, beliefs and self-identification with the middle class etc. You get the
Bernadette, It's look like you forget in Haiti, you can works for months with out getting any pay checks in hands.
Those poor Haitian nurses and teachers works their backs off like slaves, cannot own a vehicule with their salaries, still walking or their transportations are tap-taps just like the factory workers;Please, i am very confuse with your middle class.
Small shop owners, small hotels owners are in difficulties themselves to

You do understand the pimping business talked here was a joke, right?
I almost wished however that there were a place like brothels with men only so that women can denigrate them just the same way they have denigrated women through

Jean Pierre, sorry to tell you that Haiti does have a middle class albeit small and weak but there is one. What do you think the Haitian nurses, teachers, small shop owners, small hotel owners, clerical workers are?
They are not rolling in dough, but just barely have enough to pay their bills.
OK, OK, you can keep your brothels with your foreign girls and long as you leave 50% of the brothels for me so that I can have my brothels with foreign men with nice bod who don't mind shaking what their mama gave
Benadette, Haiti don't have a middle class.
Beside, the so-called small Hotels you've claim are owned by oppressors and crooks.
For many many years they have prevented and conspire with our dirty government officials to blocks new Hotels from errecting in the country by real businees peole from abroad.
Creation of jobs are great.
Whatever service or manufacturing jobs we can get, we should take. My concern is that the existing smaller hotels might not be able to compete with bigger and newer ones; especially if they armed themselves with solid MBA holders with specialty in Hospitality.
Should we let it happen as in the usual battle of the fittest or should we protect our existing smaller hotel keepers?
