Even if you collect all owed from large employers and self-employed, that brings revenue up from $283M to $300M (283 + 17). With expenditure at $292, that's a surplus of $8M.

You cannot generate a viable pension plan to provide for folks in retirement when you only have 3% of the revenue (8/300) to invest for future gains.

Especially nowadays, everything should be looked at with a healthy dose of skepticism. But they have been in existence since 1998, and have Boards of Directors in the US, Canada and in the Bahamas. You may not have heard of them before (neither did I) but it doesn't make them Johnnycomelately.

*...it is imperative that potentially radiated used vehicles, are not allowed to enter our country.*

Have we EVER had an irradiated vehicle imported into the Bahamas?

*We don’t have the testing facilities in place for that...*

So why we contracting for outside testing when we have NO IDEA if there even is a problem? SMH
