When VAT started, it was "suppose" to reduce our national debt, pay for improvements in services and infrastructure. Well it's 2021 and the national debt is at record levels, services still suck and infrastructure ain't much better. SO... what are the odds of life getting better in a few years if VAT is increased, income tax is introduced and property tax is increased? ZERO! Our leaders are simply too dumb and/or corrupt to run the country.
I honestly doubt the government (any government) has ever created jobs aside from their own public employees. All governments (past and present) have always relied on foreign companies coming to us and building hotels.
What clown came up with this photo?! It is just screaming to be photoshopped. Replace their worthless slogan words with whatever fits the bill. Change Compassion, Vision, etc... with something like Time For Us To Tief, Tax Hikes Ahead, We Want Your Money...
This whole thing has stunk to high heaven from day one. Just having Raymond Winder involved gives credence to shady dealings. Winder has been the government's financial hitman for a long time. Hubert used his services as well as Christie. Whenever the government wanted something closed down or seized, they called on Winder and gave him some "lawyer speak" excuse to go and take control. With absolutely no independent oversight, who knows how many millions went into Winder's and government politicians' pockets over the years.

So that translates to about $25,600 debt for every single bahamian. Might be a good time to marry a foreigner and leave before the poop hits the fan.

Just promise to share your fees & expenses with the politicians and you'll be a rich man in no time without having to account for anything.

Yup. Liquidation is an accountant's wet dream on steroids. The likes of Raymond Winder and his numerous "liquidations" come to mind.
