We've done pretty darn well doing things totally above board and legal...AND paying all our bills...but I don't know...getting pretty darn rough out there...may need to look at 'cutting a few corners' or shutting it down altogether.
They need to ask the potcake chairman how much money he and his various 'enterprises' owe BEC...last I heard it was over 300,000. So to paraphrase the first poster on this comments section...go ahead and piss off the white man who pays his bills...but let's let the black brother slide and get some free power. One of these days, chances are you will be going to Mr. Roberts to beg for a packing boy position...*sigh*
We are already trimming staff through normal attrition...not laying them off, but as they quit or get fired for whatever reason, we are not replacing them with another employee. Super Value's price increases have nothing to do with VAT...YET...so brace yourselves. Between the business license increases...which are extortionate, plus the new customs processing fee introduced last year, costs have gone up everywhere. Government says they were going to be trying to phase out business licenses in conjunction with VAT...as well as lower the duty rates...so what do they do, before VAT gets implemented, they jack the business license fees up sky high, and little by little they are increasing duty on items, so when the time comes for the VAT duty price drop, in actuality they are just going to drop to their previous levels of a few months ago...brace yourselves folks, VAT will cause the prices to soar...don't kid yourself into thinking otherwise.
It's not free and clear...to be free and clear all property taxes must be paid on the property before you get good title...if they prove the previous owner did not pay, your claim on that property is not valid!! If your lawyer signed off on the paperwork without doing the due diligence and research on the title then your lawyer should be brought up before the courts for putting you in a legal jeoperdy of sorts.
I love how he still claims that any or either government is to fault for GLOBAL economy crash...yes, when the PLP was in power up until 2007 the global economy was booming...guess what...worldwide the economy tanked between 2007-2012...he still spews on with the rhetoric that...
“After inheriting a robust economy with record government revenue; record employment; record direct investment, she and her cabinet colleagues managed to help wreck the Bahamian economy in five short years, driving the economy to the edge of the fiscal cliff,” Mr Roberts said.
Silly thing is that people buy the crap that he is spewing because they are so narrow minded they cannot see beyond their own noses to realize that there was a bigger global crisis at play that directly impacts us.
Nah...til I see some responsibility from those that want to increase my taxes by paying their taxes and leading by example...that's it...I'm not paying mine...made my decision. If and when they all settle up in full, I shall do the same.
