If anyone believes that permit fees collected will go into a special fund then they must be on drugs. Remember the notice posted in customs offices for public viewing " from day one of VAT implementation the government of the Bahamas will start to pay down the national debt". National debt has increased in spite of record tax collection including VAT.

I know of several Government offices where the employees have absolutely nothing to do and often sit at a desk watching a video on their lap top. Add to that buildings that are rented from the private sector in often lay empty.

Who are the incompetent's who are unable to stock take and plan ahead ? Another government rip of is the fact that any vehicle licence should be 12 months from the date of issue not backdated to the last vehicle licence .

Funny how when there is a hurricane premiums go up but when there are all those years hurricane free premiums don't go down. Coupled with this I personally know of persons who suffered damage in recent hurricanes that persuaded the assessors to pay for pre hurricane damage such as swelling re bar in columns. In truth it is so expensive that if you put the premium away for 2 - 3 years there will be more than enough to do most repairs including the roof.

If justice is done then this government who spend spend spend and then tax tax tax will be gone before the dollar is devalued.

A breath of fresh air as someone isn't blaming the white man for all the ills of this nation.

Any value placed upon any property is only relevant on market prices and at the moment selling property for what its worth is difficult. The population is being forced to pay for the black hole of government finances and lavish wasteful spending.

Yeah be fruitful and multiply then accept the social consequences of single parent upbringing, unemployment and uneducated children. And stop blaming the white man for every mistake that Bahamians have made since independence. Just look at Zimbabwe and many other countries that went downhill after independence. People like you are like kids who want to leave home then screw up and blame everybody else when you leave.

Bradley Roberts would be better running for office in Cuba where dissent is frowned upon and would fit in perfectly with his ignorant and blind devotion to a corrupt government.

At last my fellow Bahamians have grown some balls and show these career politicians that their political rhetoric is often meaningless.
