Spinach, broccoli, almonds, strawberries...items foreign to the Bahamas and to the Bahamian diet. Which hotels and restaurants are pushing their agenda?
For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan blocked our way. Not that they don’t care, but some didn’t know. And some who knew are tired of the pain
Three hundred beds will be made at a total cost of $365,000.00 or $1,216.00 each. More than the average Bahamian spends on a complete bedroom set. So what are the benefits of manufacturing these beds in-house when labor is free but the cost is still double the fair market price ?
Like the budgets of many previous governments, this budget cuts off too much fat for foreigners (in the Bahamas) and special interests groups. So while the aim and intention of the government may be to hit financial targets, its direction may be thrown off by its own pandering and its lack of testicular fortitude to go after the multi billions in assets and cash flows in the country that is not effectively being taxed. So government is, in effect, creating its own revenue shortfalls. And when this happens they will most likely go back to the poor and middle income, hardworking Bahamian, who is already in fear of losing everything he owns, and taxing him more. Why should vehicles, for example, that most Bahamians consider luxury products, be allowed to be brought into the country without duties being paid in consideration of all the other concessions given to motor dealers and in light of the government’s need to collect revenue? Food prices and fuel and energy prices continue to escalate. This is nothing more than a slave-making budget for local Bahamians, who will eventually have to pick up the slack for the unnecessary give aways. Some people may be selling luxury cars duty free whilst others may be purchasing and driving them.
So are you attempting to justify murder with allegations of sexuality of the victims as is done here by statements such ‘he was known to police’, ‘he was wearing a monitering device ‘, ‘he was recently released from prison.’ So since the criteria has been clearly established for those who deserve to doe, what is the criteria for those who are allowed to live?
