Five (5) Reasons Why We Are Still A Banana Republic
1) We still grow bananas.
2) We are the only western country where debtors can still be thrown in prison for sums as low as $100.00
3) We are the only country at the moment where concurrent criminal investigations and indictments have been made or opened against (to name a few):
- the president
- the prime minister
- the minister of finance
- the minister of justice
- senior tax officials
- the head of the police
4) We place refugees from Darfur, Sudan in prison.
5) We allow some cancer patients to die by witholding medicine.
