When the public sector civil service is reduced to an appropriate and manageable 15% of the entire labour force, then we can talk. until then... i say general strike if they want more blood from the stone. Right now 40% of us are working our a$$e$ off to support the other 60% of the workforce who get lifelong govt salary, deduction, pension, health insurance. My families biggest annual bill is health insurance... guess what is going to be cut when taxes go up? the health insurance.
The 33% does not probably include Bananasair, BPL, W&S, Arawak Cay Port, NIA, COB, etc. Add these in and you get up to 50% easily. I'd bet 2021 the number is probably higher like 60/40. 40% of us are working our a$$e$ off to support the rest of the entire country. Good grief Charlie Brown.
so much for transparency. where are the details? and Bahamasair carries on smartly with my money, as does W&S and all the other things which remain the same. And which 3 bahamians get the lucky green licenses coming up? guess its not me :(
So $1,800,0000,0000 is not enough money per year? you are saying they need more money? maybe cut the 50/50 ratio of public to private sector labour to a more reasonable 70/30 and we can see about how much revenue is actually really needed.
I, for one, would not waste my precious time on a silly debate. just give me the cliff-notes while i focus on more productive things in my life. I could care less whether it is PLP or FNM running the country, they are congruent in my annals.
Did you know that language evolves and changes? sometimes in as little as half a lifetime? Did you know that the meaning of a word can change? This is especially poignant when something like this comes up. If they want to term it an invoice then invoice it shall be, and no point in arguing the pedantics with the establishment - you should know that Bruce.
