Rather than simply publishing info obtained from Sarkis's New York lawyers, The Tribune would much better serve its readership and the Bahamian public at large by revealing what the court documents filed in this case have disclosed about Perry Christie a/k/a Vomit, Allyson Maynard-Gibson a/k/a Wicked Witch of The West, and Baltron Bethel a/k/a Bag Man.

The great thing about the New York Supreme Court is that it knows all about the various types of sinister debt-traps that the evil Communist Chinese Party (CCP) and China state-owned enterprises are expert at setting up in debt-vulnerable foreign countries (like The Bahamas) that are run by corrupt political leaders who are easily bribed for the purpose of the CCP taking, by hook or crook, ownership and control of whatever they perceive to be in their global strategic interests.

Lisa Rahming, as state minister of social services, obviously reckons she is entitled to park her government-issued vehicle in any unoccupied disabled parking space. And to think she was hand-picked by Stumpy Davis to receive her very generous salary, benefits and other perks package, that we now know includes the right to park her government-issued vehicle in any unoccupied disabled parking space.

> Jacqui Bend, managing director of CIBC Bahamas, told Tribune Business that the fee structure adjustments are due to rising business costs.

The Tribune's news editor, Rashad Rolle, should pointed have disclosed in this article the latest annual profits of cibc, rbc and Scotia Bank derived from their banking activities in The Bahamas.

> Gowon Bowe, the Clearing Banks Association chairman, has said that regulating bank fees is a slippery slope and that the country is moving toward communism with such an approach.

Yet Bowe, who is the CEO of a bank, is a big time proponent of a new minimum 15% income tax rate being introduced across the board for all Bahamians/residents and their businesses in order to fund an even larger welfare state that is already crippled as a result of decades of out-of-control waste, fraud and outright theft attributable to corrupt elected and other thieving and incomptent senior officials in every government agency, department and state-owned enterprise.

Bingo!

The current passenger head tax paid by the cruise ship enterprises needs to be quadrupled with immediate effect. And, in addition, a new environment preservation tax of at $100 per passenger head should be levied on all cruise ship passengers each and every time they enter our territorial waters without exception.

Trump's buffoonery is disliked by many but it is not nearly as inexcusable and dangerous as the Marxist-Leninist ideology of Comrade Kamala.

All that she is and what she represents are unfathomably sinister and evil to the very core.

Someone needs to remind Bowe that government policies are needed that grow the private sector by easing the ability of existing businesses to do business, promoting the start-up of new businesses, and increasing the percentage of the Bahamian economy owned by Bahamians.

Government policies should be focused on creating new private sector jobs, preventing an undesirable concentration of wealth among only a few Bahamians, and stopping the selling of our nation's scarce resources, especially land, to the highest foreign bidder.

Decades of bad government policies fostered by corrupt politicians at the highest levels, have made our domestic economy much too fragile and weak to withstand any kind of additional significant tax burden. The introduction of income tax at this time would only serve to grow the size of our already grossly over-bloated, unproductive and very costly government (public sector).

Common sense dictates that many other things must be put in order before meaningful tax reform can be properly entertained. To do otherwise only invites additional tax dollars being used to feed the growth of government while exacerbating the shrinkage in our nation's private sector tax base. That's just 101 economics!

Notice too how the ministry of education (Hanna-Martin) makes sure the private school statistics are meshed in with the public school statistics in order to deceitfully hide just how dysfunctional and bad the public schools are at teaching their students.

Too many of the public school 'graduates' are border line literate at best. Frankly, too many of the teachers on government's payroll are themselves border line literate and lack the professionalism and demeanor for teaching students in any setting.

And make no mistake about it, Hanna-Martin is simply much too incompetent and unfit to have ministerial responsibility for what many would say is the most important cabinet portfolio there is. She bears full responsibility for so many unfit teachers and 'education' administrators being on the government's payroll. As we all know, a student robbed of a decent education during their most formative years, has little chance of succeeding at anything meaningful in life and usually becomes a terrible burden on society as a whole.
