LOL.

Income tax can only work for those earning over $25,099 per year. Those below dont pay NIB so why they gonna reveal themselves by paying income tax?

VAT needs to go to 15% as soon aa economy will allow and exemptions need to go away on VAT.

It is the best collection method for Bahamas.

Beer and liquor can also be taxed an additional 25 cents per bottle on import. Gardener and farm worker permits can be trippled in January and trippled again in Jan 2023.

What is the point of this article? To state that Freeport provides 10% of GDP? It should be providing 30%. Of course we cannot state here why it is not doing so, due to this country's highly flammable libel laws.

Potential investors come in all the time ready to pump millions and tens of millions into the island, but within a few days or weeks they pack up and leave faster than they came.

They could be questioned by the Investment Board (by phone or email after they depart) and then multiple similar stories could lead to an investigation, but that sounds like work - and everyone already knows the answer anyway.

What we need is voters to come out en masse this election and get rid of this 4-term FNM and replace it with a brand new exciting never tried before PLP under the leadership of a new leader (so new i cant really think of his name right now).

New dynamic change. That will do it.

So Bimini dont want them? Sandy Point Abaco dont want them? East End Grand Bahama dont want them?

The end result will be that Haitians "escaping" Haiti simply find themselves living in a brand new Haiti, the same lifestyle, the same problems. Cholera we miss you.

Theyve already vaccinated over 50% of all children over 12 in the usa (cnn this morning). You know, the children that didnt get sick from Covid all last year and havent gottwn sick this year either, but they claim there are "cases". Ive got 2 cases of Kalik in my garage, can i get a needle for each of them? Or should i wait and hope tye number of cases increase?

Interesting how this case got heard so quickly, but the govt side of the case been waiting and waiting and waiting. Perhaps waiting until 2 of the 3 members of the Appeals Court are of Haitian descent?
All Bahamians should be referred to as doctor rolle or doctor smith or doctor whoever, because we all have an honorary doctorate degree in waitology.

Maybe we need a complete 100% lockdown for 6 months. Nobody outside for any reason except police, ambulance, and defense force officers to deliver food and medicine.
Cable and Internet turned off. Everyone supplied with a tiny AM radio to receive government instructions.
Persons caught outside unauthorized are taken to Ragged Island prison island.
6 months with PM able to extend indefinitely.
Yes. Sounds good.
Only emergency flights and boats. Others are taken to Ragged Island.
Anyone testing positive for Covid or ANY disease, taken to Ragged Island.
Yep. A great idea. Im patting myself on the back with one hand while typing with the other hand :-)

"There is one more estimate that we are waiting for too – when we can expect more doses of vaccine to be made available to the Bahamian people."

I can picture you in prison writing letters to the editor from your jail cell asking when oh when is government going to supply the guards with new batons?

The decision to force vaccinations really ought to be reconsidered. I may be wrong, but i believe it is unwise to threaten the lives of people's children. Since when did it become acceptable to threaten children? Are we going to make child molestation legal next?
