The reason why the government cannot explain where the VAT money gone is because they are continuing to squander money of pet projects and expenses for friends, family and lovers. There has been no cut backs since the PLP came to office. And despite the US coming out of recession in 2013 and having near full employment when Barak Obama left office last month, The Bahamas continues to have double digit unemployment and a weakening economy. The government has offered no stimulus to the local economy or no incentives to local businesses. And as the economy continues to shrink, so will the VAT monies. So when they (the government) drains the VAT well dry, where else will they turn to for additional funds? Bahamian businesses cannot give up and more for taxes...

But yet the commissioner calls the school children "gang members wannabes." but they have access to guns and the ability and the intention to use them.b This is where is starts from..5,6 7 grade.

Maybe Hubert Ingraham followed the lead of Stafford Sands..At least he didn't leave the country

Rodney Moncur..he has influence over more Bahamians than you do, and has demonstrated more love for this country than you have.

Former president, George Bush, said when less people register it means less people will be voting. With 88,000 registered voters this averages to around 2,000 per constituency. And since the number or persons actually voting will be less it means a very small percentage of the population will be choosing the next government. This is not a good thing. Many Bahamian s are frustrated with politics in the Bahamas and still feel betrayed after the present government acted contrary to the out com of the gaming referendum. The internal battle and eventual separation of Loretta Butler and her following of the FNM did not help and so there is a great need like statesmen like Hubert Ingraham to come forward and restore confidence in the Bahamian people. Maybe even to get Rodney Moncur to tell his followers to register even if they don't plan to vote.

***Why is honesty in politics like oxygen?

The higher you go, the scarcer it gets.

Why did the politician cross the road?

To get to the other bribe!

Politician in the Swim

What happens if a politician drowns in a river?
That is pollution.

What happens if all of them drown?
That is solution!!!

More proof the the PLP's fiscal policy has failed. They increased revenue but did not grow the economy. They did not reduce or control spending and a contracting economy can only mean reduced revenue to the government as even increased taxes will reach a point of diminishing returns.

So if we lie to the government it's a felony.
But if they lie to us, it's politics.
