Government ( Chester Cooper says tge hotels are full, the cruise ports are full. So why are they complaining about a small tax increase. Now watch this Chester Cooper say since there are no more hotel rooms, Bahamians are encouraged to open their homes for or to tourists. Not a good idea. This environment are not conducive to inviting strangers into your homes. Unless you have a separate house or a section with a separate entrance. Now watch this again: wasn’t ( or isn’t) this the same government that just passed a law that will fine you up to $1.000 for renting your car out? So how much will they fine you for renting your house without a hotel license?
If you can afford a cruise, why can’t you afford reasonable taxes, which amounts to two bottles of water or one alcoholic beverage? Why are cruise ships and most foreigners that do business in this country always trying to shortchange the Bahamian government and the Bahamian people? And bet Cruise Lines have increased their cruise tickets by at least 20 percent over the past few years. Pay the damn taxes and stop taking The Bahamas for a dump. Where anything goes. You are a multi Billion industry. Eventually the Bahamian people vis a vis the government, will be able to choose the cruise ships that come here and deny the ones that bring no benefit.
If the PLP is presenting such a wonderfully, marvelous budget that will benefit Bahamians in ways i fathomable, then why lace it with lies, mistruths and false and defamatory band mischief/ making and misinformation
The fact is the PLP came into an economy that was ripe and bursting for growth and recovery. Minnis and people like Vincent D’’Aguilar worked their behinds off to make what you see happening today possible. And this economy is just in the embryonic stage. Even now there’s a shortage of workers and when some of the other projects get underway, the only choice will be to bring in foreign workers, Haitians too. Even to fix the washing machines whether they domestic or commercial and whether they are duty free or the Vat is ten or twelve percent. Brave Davis have exercised political maturity and economic ‘lazie faire’ and allowed the economy to rebound with not too much interference. But Davis dem must be wary of persons like Simon Wilson and Mike Halkitis who still feel they owe the Bahamian people a financial whipping, whilst at least one of them is seizing everything that comes their way, hubert minnis did not get beaten in the polls!! He was overthrown! Who are the advisers that told Minnis to taunt the Bahamian people for months about ringing the Bell? And then calling an early election in the height of the pandemic. A crisis where , as the competent authority he had everything on l lock , even the beaches on the Family Island . Which were the safest place in the world. Some of these islands solaw no Covid cases and definitely no deaths until Election and campaigning
Attention brave davis: Haiti is still being punished for fighting and getting its freedom from the bounds of slavery. Haiti is still being punished for the role it played when Haitians went to other Caribbean countries and parts of South USA to help fight for freedom wolf its other brothers and sisters. Do you know at one time there was a law banning Bahamian slaves from associating with former slaves from Haiti? And Haiti paid the price to France to ‘buy’ its freedom but was hoodwinked and bamboozled by France. And Haiti was very close to taking France and the United States to court for reparations and for the atrocities these two countries, especially did to that country and to its people for the past six centuries. The violence and civil unrest in Haiti is being instigated by foreign elements. It is a smokescreen for what’s really going on in Haiti and a detracting tactic from the real issues facing that nation. Yes Mr PM, the time to fix Haiti is long overdue!! But Haiti is going to be fixed in short order! The Super Powers are running out of schemes and tactics to rob Haiti band hold its people down and present them to the world as violent, undesirable troublemakers. The Haitian disposal has began in earnest. And since Muhammad did not come to the Mountain, the mountain is going to Muhammad. In a peaceful way but be aware America and France and Britain and Canada and Holland. The Haitians people dem coming for their tings… And when the Haitians come for their things, they come on behalf of ALL the descendants of slaves in The Caribbean, and in Central and South America. Don’t mind the countries done take their gold outta Fort Knox. The Bible says the descendants of slaves will be compensated for their labor and for the mistreatment they suffered in this ‘strange land’. The Bible says they will enter that strange land by ships ‘ one more time’. The first time they were brought there on slave ships. This time they going in raggedly ships. But they going for they tings’. Don’t mind the bankers crashing the banks and t’ief all the money. They will come out of her ( that strange country) with great riches. And if the part about slavery and mistreatment of Blacks in America was true, the prophecy about descendants was f these slaves being compensated and rewarded for the work of their forefathers and the mistreatment that continues even today must also be true.
It probably cost the US more than $50 million to send Kamala Harris to The BaHAMAS to say ‘cheeeesseee!’ May as well let her gin visit her daddy people in yard da same time. Yea man! Wat a gwan? Jamaica, no problem!

Well at least it closed in a fairly healthy economy. So it should not be too much of a challenge for workers to find jobs
