Parliamentarian Miguel Mansur: Employers need employees and employees need employers, but both need a efficient government

Miguel Mansul

Parliamentarian Miguel Mansur of Action 21 believes that Aruba is in an economic stagnation and does not see any movement to correct the structural problems that the economy has. The costs of operating a business in Aruba are very high and the parliament has just passed the BBO law at the border which will make the situation even more difficult. According to Parliamentarian Mansur Day, the unions came to state that what they were asking for was a comprehensive tax reform. This means that the government finances itself, the public sector finances itself through certain taxes, income taxes but Aruba has reached a point where the level of taxation is no longer competitive.

According to parliamentarian Mansur, the trade is demanding that Aruba reforms how it finances the public sector, which includes how much tax is levied on the citizen. If you see on Aruba the citizens pay a lot of taxes and the service they get back from what they pay is not adequate.

The state of our infrastructure, public schools, how long it takes to send a patient away if he needs medical care leaves a lot to be desired, government services even at the time of requesting a bouwvergunning for example and so can be mentioned various government departments that do not work poorly except the census department Aruba, according to parliamentarian Mansur.

The tax collector pays a lot of money and gets an unfair service. According to parliamentarian Miguel Mansur Aruba really needs a structural reform and that is what the trade is also asking for. However, it is not yet clear whether the government is paying attention to this in its second year in office, but if it is, it is regrettable.

At a time when we have to look at the level of poverty where families are practically underwater where spending is higher than their income and the only way to correct this and bring relief to the people but also create an economy or space for growth economy is a comprehensive tax reform that makes us more competitive, while Aruba continues to finance and improve public services. This is a big problem considering that these changes are not visible to Aruba.

However, what is noticeable is that the costs continue to rise for businesses and it is not returned in a service to improve the functioning of the public sector and those who lose are businesses and people. Traders are people who risk their private money with money they have saved or deposited in banks or money they have inherited and invest it in the economy of Aruba. The merchant risks their funds to try to run a business to make money but at the same time the business pays its taxes and it employs people and also pays income tax ect ect , so the economy of Aruba works.

What is a reality is that employers need workers and workers need employers and both need an efficient government that supports growth in opportunities for workers to advance professionally but also opportunities for investors and their capital to return and continue to expand.

According to Parliamentarian Miguel Mansur, there is currently not enough investment in the private sector or in the public sector, due to the lack of opportunities to earn money. Opportunities to earn money are lacking because the public sector is too expensive and not efficient and does not provide a good service either to the people or to the trade.

It is believed that the governors must have the courage to reform, although it is controversial because it is stepping on the toes of some people, but if we want Aruba to be successful and want everyone in Aruba to benefit from the tourism industry and the other industries that we have in Aruba we must reform.

Aruba has an economy of over 6 billion florins for a population of 100,000 people. This means that there is no reason to have poverty in Aruba and economic hardship, but it is necessary to have the courage to take the steps to change.
