I truly feel for the Bahamian people, a government ran on lies. I have another place to go when things get real scary here, but the poor people have no where to escape too. Meanwhile the PLP lives in guarded mansions, carry guns, and protected by police, what do the Bahamian people have? I have never in my life seen such a greedy government as the PLP and the lack of compassion towards it's people; it brings me to tears, 34 years living here, and now it's finished.
As a long time investor of the Bahamas, many business partners, friends and I can truly understand the frustration and anger commentator ikalki is feeling. The fact that Lynden Pindling had a chance to make the Bahamas a true paradise for it's people over 40 years ago, but basically chose to fulfill his own greed with the help of the Colombian drug cartels, it is obvious in everything you see around you today. And what's real sad is, that Perry Christie continues his legacy with no care in the world about his own people; Christie's hero and mentor is Pindling. High Crime, social decay, disrespect for each other, D- education system, people living in fear, homes with bars on doors and windows with razor wire fencing is what he left you, nothing more. So for me to see the government of the Bahamas (who I pay so many taxes too), pay Dame Pindling's ten years back taxes owed, given a new BMW, and appointed to a government position, well, that's a slap in the face to you and me. Because if it was you or I in the same position, you truly know with out a doubt, we would be jailed in a heart beat. And to top it off folks, the PLP Government basically steals $900M dollars from the investor of Baha Mar, by the way, did you people know there was an article on that in the Wall Street Journal, does your government realize how many investors read that paper? Listen, my days of investing in the Bahamas are over, I will not allow any government to tell me how to run my businesses or face jail time; that's beyond communistic. Cuba is our new Bahamas, my partners and I have already signed future business contracts with the Cuban Government, and word is in the business world that the investor who was robbed of his $900M dollars is already investing in Cuba's future. We have been reading and watching this Bahamian newspaper for 6 years now but never made a comment until today. And the reason for that is, that the people of the Bahamas have to forgive their drama with each other and unite ASAP! Because your enemy is not your neighbor, their suffering just as bad as you are. Your enemy is the PLP and any group that oppresses it's own people for personal gain like they do. I don't have the answer for you my friends, but the Bahamas has been very good to me and I wish it the best luck in the world; but it's time is running out. Thank you for all you've done for me Bahamas, I love you and it's people, and wish you the best of luck, maybe some day it will allow me to return.
