Is our lame-brained PM somehow suggesting that because he simply says the FNM leadership is for income tax, that must mean the already financially struggling Bahamian voters are all for it? Talk about an elitist political idiot immune to the signs of growing poverty everywhere......Davis really takes the cake!

No surprise here. Many who know him well readily admit he has always been a sexist idiot.

> Asked for his opinion on introducing a corporate tax, Bowe said on Friday that any individuals who make what he called an “asinine statement” that such a tax will not be good for the economy and business, is not “worthy of your time and effort in terms of discussion”.

LMAO. Is this the same Bowe guy who told us years ago when government was considering the introduction of a 7.5% VAT that such a VAT was desperately needed to replace customs duties, business license fees and reduce the level our national debt?

And no sooner were the Bahamian people duped by all that gibberish, then Bowe began singing how he really meant reduce the growth rate rather than the level of our national debt, and that customs duties and business license fees would have to remain and be supplemented by a whopping increase in the VAT rate from 7.5% to 12% at the time.

Now we see Bowe supporting the minimum 15% income tax rate the OECD is pressuring our government to introduce which, once introduced, will undoubtedly quickly become 20%+ just as the VAT rate all to quickly increased. This would be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back for many Bahamian owned businesses, leaving many more Bahamians unemployed with no place to turn but the government, either for a job or outright handouts of one kind or another.

Why is it we never here this guy Bowe talking about ways in which the government can reduce its bloated size and waste, and become much more productive? He seems to endorse a monsterous non-productive government as a necessary social welfare scheme to help drive the consumer lending business of the domestic bank that he runs as CEO.

**duty + business license fees + national insurance costs + outrageously high utility bills + vat + all kinds of excise fees + income tax = bankrupt business**

lmao. This foolishness has our spend-spend-spend incompetent PM, who is taking advice from dumber-than-dumb bozos like Simon Wilson and Anthony Ferguson, helping the OECD not only kill our offshore financial services sector and seriously damage our domestic banking sector, but also drive all of our other Bahamian owned businesses, which do not enjoy the generous concessions given to foreign investors, right into the ground. Talk about stupidity of the highest order!

Same 'ole, same 'ole. Nothing but flapping lips and no do.

Wow! The Tribune's staff reporter failed to disclose that these new Frontier trucks are EV flat bed trucks. Not sure why the police need flat bed trucks. And how are these lithium battery powered new trucks going to be recharged when the lights start going out later this summer as things heat up and the demand for electricity surges?

Someone please tell this idiot that most of the D- educated who have been deliberately dumbed-down by our failed public education system have great difficulty reading and writing, let alone the basic skill sets necessary to write a resume or CV.

PM Davis is personally behind all of this and is using his ding-bat and brain-dead minion Wilson as his scapegoat for all the public backlash from overtaxed Bahamians and their financially struggling businesses who have no more blood to give. Wilson has to sing for his supper because he knows only too well that he could never get and keep a job in the private sector and therefore must continue sucking on the ever dwindling tax base of our country.

The Chinese Communist Party is squeezing PM Davis's tiny rat-sized nutzits in a most painful way that is very harmful to our country and most Bahamians.

Let's just pray all the rumours circulating about Anthony Ferguson and his Greek master having persuaded PM Davis that the Central Bank should instead sign a very costly long term lease with the Goodman's Bay Commercial Centre are not true. The Colina group, controlled by the Greek and his side kick Ferguson, have control of the Goodman's Bay Commercial Centre.
