Dog don't bark at parked car...Lincoln has been a more effective opposition figure than any of the PLP or FNM ever have, and this is while not even having a seat in Parliament. The only people against this man are the ones who are scared of their dark deeds coming to light.

Also, maybe getting an actual building PERMIT with approved plans and building according to code (hard concepts to understand for the mentally challenged, I know) would have prevented the fire from getting out of hand.

I am so sick and tired of hearing the stupid attempts to defend this shantytown foolishness. Buy/build a home and get fire insurance instead of squatting up on land that you are stealing and maybe this won't be a problem. Maybe the people that support THEFT should finally step up to the plate and practice what they preach by deciding to house those displaced, or maybe it is just too easy for them to preach from an ivory tower, more like gated community, and lecture those of us who actually have to live around this problem.

Atomwaffen was infiltrated by spooks a long time ago; wouldn't be surprised to find out he was on the F bee eye payroll at some point in the future, or that they entrapped him like those dudes in Michigan. Baltimore's power grid needs no further assistance in collapsing, another generation the grid across the entire US will be like ours; 100 years, South Africa (if America is still around at that point). Have to keep that "white supremacy" narrative alive at all costs while nobody even prosecutes the animals that brutally beat that little Florida girl on the bus a couple of days ago

We don't give out citizenship on the basis of being born here; that, plus his surname, leads me to believe that he is a genuine Bahamian.

The FOIA would be good in theory, but we are still right back to square one of expecting the government to expose itself. I can tell you that they will just either a.) deny requests outright or b.) don't acknowledge them and say that the "email got lost" or "they didn't receive it".

It could be some top heavy officials that are driving up the average number. In general, I agree with you though; the people I know that work for NIB don't make anything close to that amount.

Tbh I don't quite understand this take that introducing an income tax is somehow going to magically solve the problems of those less economically well off. The poor are still going to have pay all of the pre-existing taxes like VAT, duties, RPT (if not on the Family Islands), etc. while they are now going to be taxed on their already small salary (if they have one) plus funding received through social assistance or gifts ("income" literally means all income, not just your salary). We are going to help the disabled and elderly by taxing their NIB? Is taxing those who can't work due to injury really going to help their financial situation any? The really great part about consumption taxes is that, aside from certain expenses like food or medical, you can control how much you pay.

The methods that work in America or Canada are not going to work here, the Bahamas does not have a robust enough middle class to sustain an income tax regime without pushing the poor even deeper into poverty. Our economic pyramid is "bottom heavy" and it's not like the well connected in the top 1% will pay their part anyways. How many don't even bother to file their disclosures on time? This is not even considering the economic permanent residents that spend more than six months in this country, they are not going to remain here under an income tax regime.

I concur with ThisIsOurs, we have a theft and fiscal mismanagement problem, not a taxation one. Tbh these governments have zero moral authority to even utter the phrase "new taxes" when all they do is steal and pilfer whatever they rob from us now. We can put in income tax, inheritance tax, or whatever stupid tax the government concocts and in another couple of years we will see the trial balloons start going up in the newspapers about the need for new taxes to "reduce the national debt" (a euphemism for "we need more money to steal"). Only the dumb and ignorant haven't caught onto the scam at this point.

Even if you could just magically get rid of every firearm, gangsters would just kill each other with knives and bottles instead. Easier to blame it on the gun than the shitty culture though, so that is the line that most people go with.

These people really think that we are stupid.
