Think you are missing the point of this particular article...government is going to legalize web shops...fine...even though the population voted against it...whatever...now they are saying they are going to let the webshops 'police themselves'...let the webshops be the ones who are going to be forthwith enough to provide accurate reporting on what they are going to be taxed on...Mr. Numbers man...'Oh boy, it was a bad month, ya see, I didn't make any money this month, so I ain't gonna pay the government anything...' You are going to let what is currently a criminal enterprise do their own 'policing' and monitoring and tracking and accountability...something seriously wrong with that.
We knew this was coming after the whole immigration detention debacle...PLP is going out of it's way to make foreign investment NOT welcome, and to the poor local businesses they are trying to tax them out of existence as well...just gonna be a bunch of small whole in the wall type shops trading in cash out the back door.
One big scam...they were expecting a resounding YES vote but got caught out...had to come up with a ploy....we need money to pay back our supporters since we got a NO vote...we need VAT...let's be so incredibly sketchy and forceful with VAT that when we turn around and legalize gambling anyways, you all will be happy about it because we freaked you out so bad with VAT.
Yeap...government really don't give a damn...after all, they have election campaign donors to reimburse!! You don't want to be on the wrong side of numbers bosses and loan sharks...after all, they are already conducting illegal business and money laundering...what to say they won't take it to another level. Now we will be on the radar of almost every other well developed and civilized country as all the illegal money...and known funds from money laundering suddenly become legal and bankable.
Amen to that!! Will it happen? Not in another 3 years anyways!! Sadly I would not vote FNM or PLP at the moment...not that I'd ever vote PLP...but that's besides the point.FNM are in no way organized or structured where they need to be to govern either...so we are still screwed.
Sadly Tal...we are really that stupid...or at least the majority stupid...the few bright stars out there can't shine bright enough to beat stupid...may as well just dumb ourselves down and join the ranks.
Bunch of liars and crooks...not much else to say. Does it surprise me though...not one little bit. The very second the words came out of their mouths about a referendum on the topic, it was a done deal. The sad thing is, they are contradicting what the population resoundingly disagreed with. Just more evidence that the government does not care what the people think, they are going to do what they damn well please, even if everyone is against it. Govern my arse...payback of political favours is not governing.
