How has this man been given a talk show. He has no idea what is going on. He just speaks for the few crumbs he is given from the party. To say that crime is not out of control, when every store now has a security guard, when homes must have bars, when anyone with money is trying tog et to safety of a gated community is ludicrous. And then to say it is only gang members shooting each other so it is OK, though "**Sadly there is often some collateral damage or injuries.* is silly. This is why we are worried. The fact that he blames everyone except people who had control of the country for all this time is also silly.
Well done to all the PLP and FNM government's since NIB was started. You've managed to bankrupt an institution which should easily be awash with money. In doing so you have managed to enrich plenty of your contacts but that's about it. Now you decide that the Bahamian people should pay more to ensure you can continue with your largess on their money. Pathetic and useless is how you all should be described.

But we don't enforce any laws this this won't happen. We have laws to cover everything already but people still run red lights, bring stuff in without paying duty and politicians never disclose their wealth and nothing happens. This will just be added to the long list of those items on the books but not enforced.
Ahh this is a good lie. In a while the PM will say look at how much extra we have raised in business license due to bringing in the new laws, but conveniently forget that businesses are now paying on revenue not earned yet. In addition they have changed the definition on revenue so many more items are now included meaning they will get extra. So what will these big business do, pass it on. SO now that mum and pop store will have to pay a bit extra for the goods so they too will pass it on. Finally if as he says many large businesses have not been paying the correct amount, why has his Government not taken any of them to court? Because they are his friends, or because this is not the case but it sounds good to the public?
I think the issue here is that the Government is now implementing it, without telling them what has been involved in their fee calculation nor what they are using to reduce the amount owed. If they are not including VAT in their Calculation it will artificially inflate what is owed to government as this is a major part of Governments revenue. Its another case of government deciding a policy but telling no one how it has come to its conclusion and just expecting people to fall in. As to the port continuing that is beside the point to this as this is part of doing business here.
What do you mean? no one knows who is buying it so you don't know their hue. All you are doing is showing that you only care about which party is doing it. If yours you see nothing wrong. If the other side plenty wrong. Just like you are complaining about Pintard doing.
This is going to be fun to watch. I fully agree that it should be sold, i would rather have cheaper electricity that is on, then worry if we own it or not. However the fun part is going to be watching Birdie say why this is a much better idea than BTC which he still complains about.
