100% correct.
Singapore pays their PM over 3 million dollars a year.
Ours probably makes much more than that. Yes or no?
It's always the 10% cut that turns into 20%, 30% or more.
So much for any sensible, reasonable, nation uplifting, business model.

Obviously not a business owner or an economic academic.
They wouldn't make such flippant statements.
We are killing the golden goose and we blame foreigners.
How appropriate.

Executives have also questioned how Ms Hunt was chosen over a former MP. “Heather Hunt never won anything in her life and they want to put Heather Hunt against a giant of a man,” Ms Seymour said. “The man won under the PLP and the FNM and lost because of a wave in the last election, and stood on the ground for four years.”
Is "giant of a man" really what you mean?
Can ANY politician ever be a giant of a man?
According to Myles Munroe, this could NEVER be true.

One would think, that given any business experience at all, no person in their right mind would do business in The Bahamas.
We just do not get it.
Watching this government, many of these people of which have never "worked" a day in their lives, dictate the running of any business, is a fatal error.
Any person who has done business anywhere else in the world, and comes here, must be scratching their heads in astonishment.
We just do not get it.
We feel entitled to everything God has put here for us, with NO strings attached.
Poor education, bad attitudes. incompetence, theft, lies. And, we feel we deserve only the benefits from other people's money, risk, and hard work.
Funny, the different interpretations of being a good Christian.

Many jobs will be replaced as the years go by.
Real estate agents should be looking for jobs that machines and AI can't do.
A lot of money goes to real estate agents, for doing exactly what?
Let's be real.

Don't waste my time with your feigned idiocy bird brain

"The Laffer Curve illustrates the relationship between tax rates and government revenue. It suggests that there's an optimal tax rate that maximizes revenue, and that beyond this point, further increases in tax rates will actually decrease revenue. This occurs because high tax rates can discourage economic activity, such as investment and work, leading to lower overall tax revenue. The curve is often depicted as an inverted U-shape."

If we wait long enough for justice in this country everyone will die and we won't need to deal with justice anymore.
Is this not the strategy?
Do any serious lawbreakers ever get held accountable, or do they just get elected to Parliament?

So, even if government revenue increases, is that really the objective?
What if, as ALL indicators suggest, we lose a significant amount of business for our People. Less money in the Bahamian economy does not bode well for the job of looking out for Bahamians.
So, the government wants more revenue, perhaps for travel expenses for the Prime Minister's office, and they are willing and able to cripple different segments of our already fragile economy to achieve this.
Imagine a bunch of lawyers and academics who have no business education or experience making these laws without intelligent consultation, as they are doing now.
They are clearly harming our nation's economy for their lust of getting more money into government hands.
Is there anyone out there who doesn't believe that with every dollar going to government, there is a high likelihood that that money will be stolen, mismanaged, or misappropriated.
Does anyone think we are getting our money's worth when it goes through government hands?
Are we really this clueless?

"Instead, the main issue has been the zero consultation with boaters and industry, coupled with the lack of notice and time to adjust, as well as the scale and breadth of the changes and how they have been implemented in practice. This has led to significant uncertainty and confusion, with The Bahamas not providing a timely or coherent message to its visitors."

Mr. Hartnell reports "However, despite the outcry, the Government is forecasting the reforms will more than triple annual revenues generated by this earnings stream compared to the old fee structure."
I would like the names of those who speak for "the government" Mr. Hartnell.
Only then can we begin to attribute the idiocy of the government to an actual human being.
