The government does not want VAT to pay down the national debt, they want it for their own pockets. They will downplay this report and still jam VAT down our throats...watch and wait for it people, they are single minded in their drive to suck out as much cash as possible and leave the country in a shambles before they are evicted from power...maybe we can get the UK to revoke our independance and reclaim us as an dependancy!!
The reason the straw vendors were making money was they were not paying their national insurance, business licenses or rent!! Heck, I'd be rolling in dough and able to retire if I didn't have to pay my bills!!
They want the noise to stop so they can just merrily go about and roll out VAT without serious or harsh criticism and publicity...or transparency. They know VAT is BAD news and once the harsh reality hits the end consumer there will be hell to pay, but if they get it going past the point of no return they can just keep trying to plug holes and make it look like they are fixing it. The sooner the final end user/consumer realizes that his personal living expenses will shoot up, the better, so no, the private sector and others need to make as much noise and plublicize the true effects of VAT that the government does not want you to know. Force them to come clean and be open to the average minimum wage employee about how he or she may not be able to put food on the table, how they may not be able to afford rent anymore, etc, etc. But hey...the government will skim from some of the money created with VAT to give back to those who were adversely effected by VAT...pure genius!!
She's saying not to politicize it, and yet throughout that entire interview, it was all about the FNM said this and the FNM criticized that...and as bookiedread states above...the PLP were the ones that took it to the next level and starting putting up billboards everywhere blaming the FNM for crime and to vote PLP. They are so full of the crap they speak they can't even hear the words coming out of their mouths.
Rest in peace Michael, I know you have lots of family and very dear friends up there already talking your ear off and keeping you company. You are in a better place now, say hello to everyone for us!!

Rory's rant aside, it is very interesting how water works...particularly RO water. While it is a nice concept to have purified RO water, the water itself is way out of balance, water needs certain mineral content, so when you strip that away during the RO process it will find minerals where it needs to to try to restabilize itself, in this case it is going after years of scale buildup and old metal pipes. RO water in you house is a menace as it eats away at all the internals of your faucets causing faster wear and tear and repair or replacement. Just on the pure science side very interesting. Worth 50K though...nah.
I'm stuck here for now, but IF I survive and am able to get out...I'm gone, this place is going to the crapper faster than we can blink. Step out and let this place implode upon itself.
