From 2% it will go to 5% from 5% to 12% from 12% to 20% from 20% to 30%. There you go Income tax!!!!! This is how these slime balls do things. Secretly incrementally boiling the frog. They believe you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out, but if you gradually raise the temperature, the frog will be cooked.

The 2% will just be placed by Minnis and his robber barons in the consolidated fund and treated like VAT. It will be spent on crony projects and given away like candy by black men in white leotards. Just another theft to add a notch to Minnis' belt. we don't trust you anymore fnm so your words are poison to our ears.

Why is Minnis making Davis seem like the logical one. Davis, one of the least logical people seems like a whiz kid next to Minnis' stupidity. Unfair.

Imagine the look on Minnis' face if all of a sudden he found out the money to buy the Grand Lucayan was coming out of his personal bank account. He would cuss to high heaven about what a piece of S _ _ T it is and how there's no way in hell he'll spend a dime of his money on it.

Instead of a hotel, picture the Grand Lucayan as a giant hose that sucks our VAT money out of the public Treasury and shoots it into the private pockets of FNM cronies.

Re: Birdie Sad thing is it often turns out to be true. Wish it wasn't.

I will say this about Minnis and his FNM: I have never seen a more ineffective and "sit around and wait" administration. What have they done since the election? At least pass laws! At least come up with ideas! Silence. Tax. Silence. Buy hotel. Silence. No plan. No vision (even the PLP Carnival was somewhat inventive). Completely passive. A functioning government could do everything they've done in a year and a half in one week.

Re John I believe it goes something like seeing your bedroom so dirty that it's easier to go study in Starbucks. They come in with huge intentions but then reality sets in (these are not very intelligent people to begin with). They try a few things, a few court cases, and those fail. Life at the top becomes boring -- being good is tedious. You start to nibble, to glance at ways you could enrich yourself. The disease of corruption slowly fills your body, so sweet, so easy. Then BAM. It has you. You're The Best. You're Number One. Nobody, not even the Police, can stop you. You get your cabinet together and start scheming. You start finding loopholes. Foreign investors offer you bribes and "finders fees" in Swiss Bank Accounts. The Chinese offer you five apartments in Miami. Yes! Yes! Yes! This is how the world ends. This is how the best intended Bahamian leaders end up completely corrupt and stinking.

Arrogant, bold, entitled, self important, serpentine, poker faced... typical PLP material.

ReTal John Bull and Starbucks coming to Light House Point soon. LMAO
