This is an **election 2017** announcement dear folks! And let Perry 'dem know it by voting **"NO"**on the referendum. Bahamians are sitting back with popcorn, like they watching TV, and letting their country get take away from them. This lousy Perry Christie government piling taxes on Bahamians, what they can't afford to pay while giving the country away to foreigners. May Perry Christie, Brave Davis and all dem, live long enough to see the results of their actions. They have sold the Bahamas wholesale. They have put hard working struggling Bahamians back into slavery. Some have to walk away from their businesses and properties because they can no longer afford the taxes.
How Much Is The World In Debt? "I don't know what criteria the authors used to define 'debt', but the total unfunded liability of the US Federal government alone is somewhere on the order of 130 to 140 trillion dollars when all entitlement spending obligations are considered (give or take a few trillion). World debt comparison: The global debt clock | The Econo www.economist.com/content/global_debt_c… Search for: How Much Is The World In Debt? What country has the least amount of debt? Saudi Arabia was ranked at the bottom of the list, with US$87.7 billion (A$99.5 billion), which represents 12.2% of its GDP. The highest debt as a proportion of GDP was Japan, with 226.1%, which means that the country's national debt of US$11.3 trillion (A$12.9 trillion) is more than double what it made for the year."
Puerto Rico $70 billion to a population of 3.5 million. equals $20,000.00 per person owed. Bahamas with $6.8 billion debt and .35 million people equals $19,428.57 owed by each Bahamian.
The Bahamas is in very close proximity, economically, to where Puerto Rico is: bankrupt! Puerto has a national debt of $70 billion and a population of 3.5 million people. The Bahamas has a national debt of $6.8 billion so technically each man, woman and child in the Bahamas owes nearly as much as each Puerto Rican does and their country is bankrupt and seeking for the US government to bail them out. Who will stand for the Bahamas and what will be the consequences on our sovereignty and the value of our dollar? What about the standard of living and the availability of goods and services. Venezuela a flourishing, oil rich nation only a few years ago cannot feed its people. A burger costs $170 if you use a US credit card and people are reportedly hunting stray dogs and cats for food to avoid starving
So y'all ain't tink is no connection between wat da Chinese doing in the country and the immigration questions on the referendum aye? Think again. Border less countries and no sexual discrimination , but let them black boys go kill one another while we invade their land. Take their jobs but not their women. Get it? Got it ? Good!
The biggest problem is keeping the intelligent and educated Bahamians home. How can you tell a person with two degrees making 1/4 million to come home to earn half of that or to get a token government job where these will be political interference and a limited chance to advance? How can you tell qualified Bahamians to come back home when their children are earning more than persons who they graduated with and left back home? How do you expect professionals to return to a country where everything is run by politics and favoritism and the system is barely functional? Why return to invest in a country that favors foreigners and discriminates against its own. But one day these Bahamians will return home. And they will take those who have stifled the system and kept Bahamians back out of power. All of them must go so they can rebuild the system. Education too!
WE will vote "NO" because it is our choice and God-given right to do so, just as you have the right to vote "yes." If only ignorant people and bigots are voting "NO" then why are you so concerned about the amendments NOT being passed? I would hope that not only ignorant people and bigots are voting 'yes'.
Absolutely and pure Bull$hit. The Bahamas is a country where many of its citizenry left school in the sixth grade. Since there were no opportunities available for pure black people, parents thought it more sensible for children, especially young men, to leave school and learn a trade once they learned how to read and write. This has changed since then 1970's when hundreds of Bahamians leave the country and go abroad to attend colleges. Many complete ddegrees and various levels but unfortunately, many do not return to the Bahamas. The opportunities afforded abroad are much greater and far more rewarding than what is offered here. So while there may be a good number of persons left here with low education grades, the answer is not to import foreigners to replace them. Create jobs that they can fill. The united States and Canada are doing it by raising minimum wages (in fast food restaurants) to $15.00 an hour and other countries are sharing their. How can you dare tell someone they are "too dumb to be Bahamian?". But this same trickery was pulled in Detroit where generations of families, would leave school at 16 to work in the automobile factories. They were productive, and many spent a lifetime in the factories and retired comfortably. Then the car companies begin to require that factory workers have college degrees. And this at the stroke of a pen excluded more than 50% of they black workforce. Black people (in Detroit) were not accustomed to going to college and many families could not afford to, despite the educational grants that are available. And so while workers are being imported into Detroit and surrounding areas, thousands of black workers have been displaced. Many have lost homes and were forced to relocate, because the jobs that were available to them for generations, are available no more. Bahamas must be for Bahamians first, by any means necessary and hence the importance of a "NO" vote come referendum day
