liquor is highly taxed at the moment, its just that it is done in the cost of the good, as there is no real cost of good for the webshops this is not possible (or are they paying the US lottery places to use their numbers)?

To try and compare what is happening in the US now with what the nazi's did is disingenuous. Yes i don't agree with taking kids from their parents, but next you will be saying that the system is wrong for putting an american into jail for breaking the law as she is a mother. If the US said they would not stop anyone with kids then within a week there will be millions of people going to the USA. Not sure how the can deal with these situations in a humane manner which works out for all

Can some one say for sure whether that road is public or private? I have heard both.

Whilst i am not happy about the rise in VAT i do wonder what the Government could have done which would have pleased people. Since coming to power they have reduced the size of Government, and every time they did that there was uproar over how heartless the Government were being. Now they go the other way and increase revenue and there is uproar. It is high time we realise that we can't go living with these deficits year after year. Yes this country has never had a surplus, but up to about 2005 the deficit was never that bad, since then it has grown year in year out and we have hardly anything to show for it. So either we cut expenditure which means laying off probably 5-10,000 people or increase revenue.AS to selling off Government entities i am all for it, of course as soon as that happens people will be in uproar when Bahamasair says they aren't flying to X island as it is not profitable.
On a side note, i think they went to 12% VAT one time so with WTO they wouldn't have to increase VAT again in a year or two when duties come down.

Don't worry due to hypocrisy like the ones mentioned the churches here are losing followers all the time. The younger generation do not take these pastors words as gospel and laugh about many things they say. And before anyone gets up in arms over this i am not saying they are not religious, they have just realised that a large number of these so called pastors are not good for Christianity .

If only one gun is handed in it will be worth it. Government should do this just to get some of them off the streets.

It is going to be done at the website level. So they will take and pay to Government, not the home owner itself. now those who do not advertise on airbnb and the other websites will not charge it, however they will also have issues trying to get people to stay without using those websites.

From what i have read, in order to get the duty waiver the company would have to show how they will reduce their prices to pass this on. If they are not then they can pay the current duty rate. It should also be noted, that just because the duty rate might change, this does not mean the company is not selling items that they did pay duty on. As it will take them a while to get through the duty inventory.

Wait, wasn't Renward just saying how we should increase all our exports. Now he is saying nope decrease.

I would hazard a guess that Paul took a lot of interest in looking for the LGBT tourist spots in the Bahamas. Anyway as always you get these people who take certain parts of the bible to heart but miss out on the rest. I am fairly sure i can say that there are more people sweethearting over here then are gay, and as thats against the bible this should be more of a worry to people like Paul. Also the bible does not agree with having children out of wedlock, well 70% of our children are born this way. I don't care if you are religious or not, but don't pick and choose sections of the bible, either go whole hog or none at all.
