If you show me 1 Air BNB which grosses $100,000 per year and i'll show you a slush fund. this is really about WTO wanting to supposedly stop laundering and terrorism financing.

I should be shocked, but i'm not. Its just S.O.P.

so another 6 months to get my mail from 2017. ok cool.

have anoother drink of the kool aid mate. you are forgetting the most important fact that if we bahamians didn't give them jobs and pay them they wouldn't be here and wouldn't have money to send back. you can't blame a man or woman to want to earn money. you can blame the man hiring them illegally though.

Ok, then also ask the wait staff to accept a lower gratuity? better yet take the automatic gratuity out of the bills in this country. Then get the insurance agent to take a smaller cut. and the car salesman, and then why not ask everyone in the country to work for a smaller paycheck.

If its not actoinable in court why is this in the tribune?

watch out treason is a hanging offense in this country. *sic

Parks and playgrounds and public pools, ball fields. imagine it. provided to all and sundry instead of only available to the middle and upper class at private spots.

property tax in the US stays within the district it is taxed from and directly pays for schools/education, public transportation, garbage collection road maintenance etc. Here in the Bahamas it goes into the slush fund and government elite pockets. big difference. i don't mind paying taxes if i feel like i'm getting value for money. but i generally feel like i'm being fleeced daily and lawfully too. schools are horrendous, public transportation is laughable, garbage collection is inconsistent, and road maintenance is loquacious at best.

how does this address all the MP's and government elites who don't pay either? Hey Tribune,
why not ask for a complete roster of the property tax register which by law is supposed to be gazetted every year in your publication and available for any person to go an inspect upon demand.
