The last two letters, about Fare-well Payoffs said it all, I can not add anything to it. I believe it is time for Tongans to wake up and stand up for righteousness. You need a good old fashion Tea Party movement. - Cliff.

Farewell pay-off? Shame on you! If MPs were paid 10 times the per capita income of the average Tongan citizen, that would only amount to half of what they are being paid now. In other words, MPs are now making at least 20 times the per capita income. And for what? - P. A. Langi.
