And GE, one of the Hallmark companies of America has been kicked out of the DOW. The financially struggling company will be replaced in the DOW by Walgreens on Tuesday.
As Amazon has become the worlds second largest company (guess who’s first and no, not Island Luck)) the US is seeking laws to allow States to collect sales tax from Amazon and other online sales. This is to help reduce the many retail stores that have been decimated by online sales.
Maybe they need to open locations in Lyford Cay and Old Fort Bayand Albany But O, but why? When most of these residents can go in the full service, traditional casinos and gamble unfeathered and unbothered and withdraw their winnings without a hitch or glitch
government was ill-advised on webshops! Rather than using the two exceptionally performing web shops as a yardstick to overtax, uproot and undo the webshops, the government should have examined the other benefits these operations bring. This includes high employment, rental and construction of prime commercial space, payment of business license and other government fees including utilities. Rather than following the jackass advice to try to overtax ad close these operations down, the government should have encouraged them to open shops in The Cable Beach area and downtown and attract foreign money...new money. And they (government ) came with "dey stiff upper lip", not even willing to meet with the owners and discuss the matter. If these web shops close to the level they say and lay off employees to the level they indicate this will send critical shockwaves through the entire fragile Bahamian economy. And Government, by its own ill-advised action, will find itself in a worse predicament than ever. A financial crisis bigger than ever before. I can guarantee this government would never approach any foreign business in the manner in which they approached the web shops. The operators were not opposed to an increase. They opposed the overkill. And they were singled out! If the government was so hungry for additional revenue, why did they not also increase the tax on casinos? What is good for the goose should also be good for the gender. And a national lottery will never generate the type of economic activity the web shops do. This whole matter was sickening, disgusting, ill-advised, disgraceful and anti-Bahamian! So if wash houses or gas stations or Bahamians start to make good profits, we will also tax them out of existence! Does the red in the FNM flag call for the blood of the Bahamian businessmen? Many of whom are already no more?
Loretta Butler Turners’ biggest weakness is she has proven she can be bought. Had she stayed the course and remained duty bound, Minnis and the FNM May not be in the predicament they are in today. There is no reason Bahamians have to be taxed to the level they are and the average family can hardly buy bread.
