Mr pintard do your best not to play the part of a fool, choices like not buying food but cooking your own meals, car pooling there are many more see if you can find some, you and buggies bunny

Mr Pintard how foolish do you think the Bahamian people are, your FNM government increased VAT 60 % and then took VAT of flour and butter, cooking oil which really benefit Bakeries and hotels ,but in your dishonesty you ignore these facts, what have you done for those who voted for not to mention you all said you were against VAT

Birdiestrachan, as usual, your political idiocy reigns supreme.

The high cost of living in the Bahamas isn’t just about personal “choices” like steak vs. burgers; it's driven by real economic pressures, and the PLP’s role shouldn’t be downplayed. While the FNM did raise VAT, the current government has not eased the tax burden on Bahamians—if anything, it's added to it with increased fees and expenses to fund projects that often seem more aligned with political agendas than with relief for struggling citizens. They may have lowered VAT from 12% to 10%, but increased taxation in every other area, placing an additional burden on Bahamians.

Additionally, the PLP has made minimal efforts to address the root issues impacting our daily expenses. Our heavy reliance on imports makes us vulnerable to global inflation, supply chain issues, rising energy (Utilities), and Services costs—all factors the PLP could mitigate with strategic policies and resourceful spending, but prefer to line their coffers. So, we see resources allocated in ways that don’t seem to consider the immediate needs of the Bahamian people, like the jet-setting of the Prime Minister. Rather than holding citizens accountable for the cost of living, we need governance that prioritizes efficient spending and real solutions for economic relief, not garbage PLP operative propaganda from you.

The Gov does not care about everyday Bahamians. They could easily remove VAT from Medical, School Fees, Food and Seniors. What happens to all the VAT money? Why do we have to borrow money from the Chinese to build a hospital? The Politicians are greedy and corrupt...all for them. If only our country was run by successful business men who loved their country and not just enriching themselves.
