**anyone who reads this bill would very quickly realise that it does exactly the opposite of what corrupt davis says it is intended to do.**
****this bill is in fact intended to greatly intimidate and silence whistle blowers.****
This corrupt Davis led PLP government is seeking to make sure none of the waste, fraud, and corruption that they have or are presently engaged in ever sees the light of day. It is an utter disgrace that corrupt Davis and his doofus AG Pinder would allow this bill to be tabled under the guise of making it easier for whistleblowers to bring government waste, fraud, and corruption, to the attention of the public.
If Pintard had a "pair" bigger than the rat-size ones that Davis and Pinder have, he should announce to the public that if the PLP is successful in getting this bill enacted, the FNM upon winning the next general election would immediately repeal it in its entirety. Bottom line: No government employee should ever be intimidated in the way that this bill seeks to do!
This is but the tip of the iceberg because, as a constitutional democracy, I do not recollect a national referendum ever having been held whereby the Bahamian people approved an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas to empower the government to impose income tax of any kind on our people. Yet the government has been using the Business License Act as a backdoor means of taxing businesses owned by Bahamians based on their revenue which is tantamount to an unconstitutional taxed based on income.
Also our government now plans on using the OECD/EU economic substance reporting platform built into CESRA, 2023, as a spring board for eventually imposing direct income tax on all Bahamians and their businesses at a minimum rate of 15%. This too would be unconstitutional without an amendment to our Constitution duly approved by the Bahamian people in a national referendum.
Our Constitution only empowers the government to fund itself by way of customs duties, license fees, stamp taxes, excise taxes, real property tax, and similar funding mechanisms like VAT. Nowhere in our Constitution does it state that the government is empowered by the people to impose on them or their businesses any kind of direct or indirect income tax based on the income, gains, or profits they derive from their own personal work effort or business activities.
The ever increasing funding demanded from the private sector by our corrupt and incompetent politicians, and their local and foreign cronies engaged in much waste and fraud associated with rampant crony capitalism, only serves to fuel, nurture and grow (exacerbate) the already grossly over-bloated size of our very costly government, thereby creating an unsustainable social welfare state that is increasingly vulnerable to quick collapse under the weight of enormous continuing deficits and a national debt that cannot be repaid. This would leave us fitting the very definition of what President Trump calls a "shiit-hole" nation.
But that seems to be where all parties to the dispute are more likely to get a fairer hearing of all the issues involved and an outcome based on the proper application of the appropriate fundamental legal principles to the facts and evidence heard in the case.
Keep in mind the worst kind of corruption appears to be rampant everywhere in our government today, and sadly our judicial system is not exempt from that harsh reality. We have brought this upon ourselves by allowing our society to become infested with too many crooked lawyers, some of whom eventually become compromised judges.
