Only helping Government Employees? WTF? Help everyone for God's sake!

It's a vote thing, obviously. Good for quite a few desperately needed votes.
It's also a beholden for the life of the tenure type thing, a form of enslavement.

message from the banks will be...no loans to GOVT employees...quite simple...

The country is BROKE you asshole,where is the money coming from to pay for all the free stuff you want to give away?

Comrades! No greater sin has been committed by both former law partners prime ministers, than the debt stranglehold over government workers. 38.74% heavily structurally indebted government workers have already been relegated from the middle class down to join the poorer class. A sad, shameful reflection on both former law partners style of governing.
Comrades, rather than expand this debt slavery government guaranteed program - it should be forever shelved away.

ONE STRAIGHT JACKET PLEASE.

Just one?

This annoucement by Roberts favouring government workers and Christie's free electricity announcement favouring the poor who are less discerning voters are prima facie evidence of the significant election fraud currently being perpetrated by the PLP on many fronts. In the run up to a general election, Christie and the PLP leadership are outrightly buying votes under the guise and pretense of their willingness to introduce highly controversial and discriminatory (and likely unconstitutional and certainly unaffordable) social welfare programs.

**The PLP also pledges it will create policies ensuring that 75 to 80 per cent of revenue generated from the tourism industry remains in the Bahamas rather repatriated outside... only about 20 per cent of profits from foreign direct investments in the Bahamas trickles down throughout the society.**

We struggling to get new hotels opened and old hotels reopened. And you gonna tell the foreign investors they now gonna lose 75% of their revenue?? (Going from 80% of the money leaving the country down to 20% leaving the country). He must have lost his mind...

Oh what did you say? Can you repeat it with dots and dashes?

**…….. Lol…Lol….Lol….Lol…Lol…Lol….Lol…..Lol…Lol….Lol….Lol…Lol…Lol….Lol…..**

Am I being cynical that all these promises that could have been done in the last 4+ years seem rather coincidental with the upcoming election ?

Ya think???????? LOL!

The average civil servant is grossly under-paid ......... has access to a lot of public cash/materials that are pilfered .......... gets a lot of "tips" for services rendered ........... does a lot of moon-lighting when they should be on their government job .......... works on average of 4 hours per day ............ and lives above and beyond their means

If you making $20,000 ........ how can you drive a Mercedes, rent a condo, wear bling & Gucci, and go on a month-long vacation every year????? ........ Ans. teef, sugar baby or dealin

If I am elected, all mortgages to civil servants will be interest free once they give ten years of service.

For civil servants engaged less than ten years, room and board will be provided in a nationalized Bahamar.

Last, but not least, Civil servant pensions will be hereditary to the children of the deceased, provided their survivors continue to vote for me.

All he needs to do is give Sebas and Craig their banking licenses, and they will be happy to vet his proposal, which will allow the ultimate solution to their depository problems, and provide them with a higher return of interest. Commercial banks are not run like government (except for Bank of the Bahamas, and Resolve) and will not be dictated to as to how they manage their portfolios. Another promise that is impossible to keep.

**..We Know, Unquestionably, That Our Prime Minister, Perry G. Christie Can Be *Trusted*..**

He can be **Trusted** to repeatedly lie to us with a straight face.

He can be **Trusted** to make promises desperate, disenfranchised people want to hear.

He can be **Trusted** to mislead the country at every given opportunity for personal gain.

He can be **Trusted** to tell new, young, Parliamentarians they have no value or voice.

He can be **Trusted** to favor foreigners over Bahamians for business ventures.

He can be **Trusted** to show gross disrespect for Bahamians on the most grandest scales.

He can be **Trusted** to regularly announce new initiatives that never materialize.

He can be **Trusted** to award Crown Lands to foreign entities while denying Bahamians.

He can be **Trusted** to make long-winded speeches and say absolutely nothing.

He can be **Trusted** to being totally complicit while $Millions disappear from Ministries.

He can be **Trusted** to make the most asinine, worst, fiscal decisions and further destroy us

He can be **Trusted** to make us look like fools & our country the laughing stock of the region

PM Christie's track record speaks massive volumes for itself.

**No amount of "sweet talk" now could change which Christie has already etched in stone.**

Sadly, too many of these noteworthy "Trusted" points would also apply to Minnis if he is ever allowed to become PM, plus numerous others that you haven't bothered to mention. Power hungry Minnis is now salivating at the thought that he and his cronies could possibly be drinking mightily from the bountiful trough known as the public purse. And if Minnis as PM should meet the public purse dry of funds, he will quickly increase the VAT rate to 15% in order to ensure taxpayers refill the trough at the earliest possible time. And the certainty of this is as good as night following day in our Bahamaland!

You again! That record has a serious scratch.

LOL

**What Criteria Are You Alluding To Dr. Minnis Never Held Office Of P.M.**

You are definitely drinking too deep from Christie's piss pot to try to rationalize & condemn Minnis who never had the chance to prove his mettle.

Only Alfred Gray and Bradley Roberts could say something so stupid!!

Hi Mr Key. . .lol! You know something. . .you may be right with all the things you are saying. . . you mean to tell me that the FNM party is dumb and dimwitted that the dumbest person. . .doc according to you. . .took over yall party, dumped yinna guru papa by the wayside. . .send all of you and Laing them home. . .brought on board a new an fresh crew. . .a tough crew I might add. . .now have the entire PLP party. . .and a vast part of the populace going his way. . .have the wheels of the formidable campaign machine of the PLP wobbling all over the place. You see where I gern wid dis? Yoon making no sense no more there man!

SP, now you need to get a van or a truck with a loud speaker and drive around the Capital repeating your list until it is driven home to those who are somehow blindly unaware!

To reduce the bedt burden on bahamians is simple create jobs for them not the chinese!!!

Mudda..........If Minnis is Elected and does what you say....... Then we will vote his a$$ out. The Bahamas is bigger then any one party.

Given the very grand scale on which our tax dollars and national debt borrowings have been stolen in recent times by our corrupt elitist politicians and their cronies, whether they be of the FNM or PLP variety, you can be rest assured that Minnis will only need 5 years to very handsomely feather the nests of himself and his select few loyal cronies. And once again, "No!" another five years of Christie and his crew is definitely. THINK, THINK, THINK!!

Oops! Last part of penultimate sentence immediately above should read ".....definitely not the answer,"

The government and the numbers houses are already running the banks from the Bahamas. Do they want to be left with NO banks? It appears they believe they can DICTATE to EVERYONE. Not good.

But the numbers' bosses have been hedging their bets on the outcome of the election and Minnis (like Christie) has been only too glad to take whatever money they've thrown the way of him and the FNM.

That is the way the game is often played, but you know the FNM and the Doc have been accepting money from the numbers bosses exactly how? Are you a fly on their wall?

A fly on Perry Christie's shit is more like it.

As I've said countless times: "THINK, THINK, THINK!!!" But I suspect you're too blinded by party loyalty to do just that thanks to four decades of brainwashing by political party leaders (Pindling, Ingraham, Christie, McCartney and now Minnis) that leaves weak minded voters wrongly believing that political party loyalty matters to the exclusion of all else. But under our Westminster parliamentary system of government, we are all much better served when the best candidate in each constituency in terms of their integrity, intellect and common sense gets elected no matter what his or her party affiliation may be. We already have a four decade old track record that proves just voting along party lines for the more popular party of the day is a sure fire recipe for disaster. Corrupt politicians come to the front and thrive in settings where party loyalty is all that matters, relegating integrity, intellect and common sense to very low places on the totem pole. We need as many good qualified people sitting as MPs in the HOA as we can possibly get irrespective of their party affiliation....let's the chips fall wherever they may when it comes to which party ends up with the most seats....we need the best MPs available for both good governance and good opposition. I therefore once again implore you to THINK, THINK, THINK!!!
