We are the only country in the world where we have introduced VAT without first having a well established income tax structure. Even our dear New Zealanders have a hefty income tax, and collect 43% of their revenue from Income Tax...
I love my wife...til death do us part. When I signed up for marriage, it was a one and only, all or nothing deal. The time and effort, ups and downs, especially now with children in the mix is intense, definitely not easy, and very little of it resembles those care free days of romance and wooing the one you married. My problem is this...I know what it took to get where I am...where WE are, it's a hell of a lot of work, and dare I say money. The LAST thing I can even try to wrap my mind around would be getting involved with another female, while trying to maintain and put the work into my marriage. I'd be flat broke and mentally insane juggling women. No interest in it, the thought has not crossed my mind, nor will it ever cross my mind. Now...if the marriage falls apart, and we get divorced for whatever reason, and I am a free man...so to speak, would still be supporting the kids and such, then yes, my 'emotional work load' is now an 'Ex' and I can move forward and find another. But hey, that's just the way my little mind operates. The last thing I need is more stress and drama by stringing along multiple gals.
Took the words right out of my mouth...they were paid dearly for the all clear from the powers that be, despite the law...will be some VERY annoyed investors to not get a 'return' on their investment.
The Bahamas 'expects its fair share' of the money...shock and awe there!! show me the money!! But while I talk out da side of ma mouth, the other side is allowing dredging to destroy our reefs, oil spills to go unabated from our power plants and new power stations (in Abaco) to be built that utilize one of the worst and cheapest and nastiest fuels remaining on this planet that is being outlawed in most countries. Oh yes, we are leading the way with our goal towards climate change...by destroying it as fast as we can with the tools we have, before the bigger global impact starts taking effect to drown away our sorrows.
