Why Muscat &#039;quite rightly&#039; preying on this?

His objective is to get into power.

Everyone else needs to know what&#039;s he&#039;s going to do about it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[John - PN - Dalli&#039;s main achievement was to come up with a poorly thought-through VAT law that all and sundry flout constantly. Apart from guaranteeing an MLP victory in 1996, he did little else.

The middle class were duped into thinking that VAT was more equitable and would lead to a dramatic reduction in direct taxes on salaries. This never happened and, as they have done for the past 30 years, salaried employees continued to carry this country on its back, freeloaders/politicians et al. Dr Muscat is - quite rightly IMO - preying on this and I don&#039;t really blame him.

Tonio Fenech has two years to come up with something to finally reward those who have paid for the PN&#039;s profligacy over the years. The big Q is, (apart from whether he will or won&#039;t) after fiscally bashing those who paid their dues for so long, will they simply take any largesse and run? ie too little, too late.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It nevers rains but it pours, doesn&#039;t it?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I&#039;ve uploaded your comment only to tell you that you are no longer welcome here. Carry on slandering me elsewhere surrounded by mad and vicious people, with whom you share far more than you do with anyone commenting here. Please hop off now and mix with your own kind. Thank you. And after reading some of the obsessive, cracked stalker-type things you have said about me elsewhere under the name Fellus Ta Gahan, I also recommend that you see a psychiatrist. You are quite obviously not normal. Believe me, I have had a lot of experience with fixated nutjobs like you. You need help.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
