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.

Good point!

Here's a good laugh for everyone. The US CDC website dedicated to Mpox has a heat map of outbreaks by country populated with data as of August 6, 2024 that shows the following:

Number of cases reported since 2022 in the **Bahamas** - 3 Deaths - 0

Number of cases reported since 2022 in **Jamaica** - 3 Deaths - 0

Number of cases reported since 2022 in **Cuba** - 8 Deaths - 0

Number of cases reported since 2022 in the Democratic Republic of **Congo** - 3,104 Deaths 10

Number of cases reported since 2022 in Canada - 1,557 Deaths - 0

Number of cases reported since 2022 in Mexico - 4,124 Deaths - 34

Number of cases reported since 2022 in Brazil - 11,212 Deaths - 16

Number of cases reported since 2022 in the **USA** - 33,435 Deaths - 60

No Mpox statistics are provided for Haiti, presumably because of no record keeping in that violent gangster run country.

Obviously the current US government is hoping to portray a full blown epidemic of Mpox underway all across the US within the next month or so in order to justify and stimulate early voting by absentee ballots in the upcoming presidential election in early November. LMAO

LOL. "A cursory google" as you call it is a sure fire way of filling one's mind with loads of misinformation.

These arseholes all full well know that the OECD will next tell us that we can't have a two-tier tax structure. This is simply their deceitful way of opening the tax to an across the board 15% income tax on all Bahamians/residents and their businesses. And they simply don't care what impact this will have on inflation and already struggling Bahamian families and Bahamian businesses. These corrupt politicians and their accomplices in the private sector like Leo Rolle and Gowon Bowe have failed to carefully think through the destruction a new income tax system would bring to our nation at this critical time. We haven't even been given a chance to digest the severe and most onerous consequences of all the business license changes, yet here they are now contemplating an even more draconian income tax system. No common sense is being applied here!

It is painfully obvious that this clown Leo Rolle, like that other clown Gowon Bowe, is a big time proponent of all the following:

1) More taxes on the already struggling Bahamian people and their businesses;

2) Bigger government as a means of reducing unemployment and growing a social welfare state;

3) Higher inflation that naturally results from more taxes on businesses and more social welfare spending by a bigger government; and

4) Doing whatever foreign globalists demand without regard to our nation's own sovereign interests and the well-being of the Bahamian people.

In short, Rolle, like Bowe, has revealed himself here to be a far left leaning socialist of the globalist variety (bordering on Marxist), as opposed to a sensible progressive in the conventional sense. Has he too become a card carrying member of the CCP?

Most of us remember only too well how the likes of Rolle and Bowe vociferously supported the introduction of VAT and the later increase in the rate of VAT, all under the guise of an urgent need to actually start paying down the balance of our national debt. They later conveniently joined the chorus of our spendthrift incompetent and wasteful politicians when all of them began singing, "No, no, we never intended for VAT to actually pay down the balance of the national debt, what we really intended was that VAT would be used to help slow down the pace of growth of the national debt." Talk about selling the Bahamian people a worthless promise!

They are much too busy planning new ways and means of stealing from the rest of us to be concerned about our dire state.
