I appreciate your straightforward, irreverent, but truthful comments.
No positive change for humanity has ever come about by remaining silent.

Right on!

It is called regressive taxation, which Bahamians go along with by continuing to vote these politicians in.
Do you vote?
Then you are part of the problem, John.
Exactly where our D- national average education gets us.

John
Your lack of education comes through in your comments.
Concessions are always given to new money coming into any economy.
You obviously lack a basic understanding of economics,
Your comments further dumb down our country.

You are right, but much, much too charitable.

My God,
The fact that these two, in a fully functional society would not be worrying about taxes, but about how many cigarettes they would need to keep themselves from being raped every night as they spent the many years in jail for operating illegally within this country speaks volumes on how degenerate these web shop owners are.
Clearly, the web shops contribute to the declining quality of life in this country, from theft by way of employment, as was spoken to from the owner of Super Value, to the social services needed to help out people with a gambling addition, to the monies going directly out of our national economy and into the pockets of, what's the best word to use for these web shop cretins? My God!
And then, to have the audacity to say that they should be taxed at the same rate as the casinos, which bring in hard currency from abroad.
Why don't the powers to be in this country stand up and tell Sebas and Flowers to take a hike and to be thankful that they are still allowed to walk among the rest of us.
What has this country come to, that everyone in positions of Central Bank, to OPM do not have the balls or the brains to tell these idiots that we are not all stupid.
These guys sucks our country dry, while at least the casinos contribute in various ways to the Bahamian economy.
Tax the web shops out of existence and start up a national lottery as was suggested.
This only goes to prove that we have the criminals running this country. This includes every politician who went along with this nonsense.

Hey John,
Perhaps stick to the numbers.
Yes, it is insane in the US. But, The Bahamas is clasified as an armed conflict zone.
I have lived in both places.
The level of dishonesty, corruption and violence is at epidemic proportions compared to the US.
The Bahamas would make their own guns if they made anything at all.
But, we don't. I am a very harsh critic of the US. However, having lived in both places, I can safely say there are very, very few people here you can count on, rely on, or trust. We are for the most part a very lazy people today, and if the Haitians, Dominicans and Mexicans move here, it is game over in this country. That is why most employers would rather hire foreigners. Not just because they can pay them less. They are more reliable and honest. Period.
Just saying.
If The Bahamas wants to complain about illegal guns coming into The Bahamas, what about all the cocaine and rum before that that went to the US via The Bahamas?
And, please remember that the guns don't kill people by themselves. It takes a person who has no respect for another's life to pick up that gun and use it. I get tired of hearing the ignorant excuse that guns are killing people. In the US there are more guns than people, yet they still do not have the level of crime and murder that we do here.
If people want guns there will NEVER be a way to stop them from coming into this country. Ever. I can prove this beyond any doubt. Get a life.

Why isn't anyone asking what the hell government is doing in businesses business like this.
Don't talk about a free market while imposing limitations on what a business can charge.
If the government wants to protect and coddle the consumer, let them make direct payments to them to pay for fuel. Just like social services does.
How many of these politicians have EVER run a business. But, they want to have a say in how much a business can charge.
Is nobody schooled in economics in this country?
If a business can make money by undercutting their competitors, let it be.
Isn't this what a free market is? Yes.
Every time an uneducated politician (most all of them) sticks their nose in something they know nothing about, we get what we see here. A failure.
Put a fair tax on gas retailers and then get out of the way.
Way too many politicians operating way above their pay grade.

Dawes,
You would wear yourself out with all that you bring to the table in response to the nonsense spewing out of this administration.

Time to ban all lawyers from government.
They can't own up to any mistakes and do not want any transparency.
They will be borrowing more and more money at compound interest.
This country is doomed. All one has to do is to look at the math.
We are going to be borrowing more money for a hospital?
Privatization will reduce our electricity costs?
2.5 million dollars for a new airplane for this government while the infrastructure of this country collapses?
Are these people serious?
Obviously, they take the Bahamian public for absolute fools.
And, we will vote them back in again in the near future.
Kids will go abroad to get educated and return to what?
The PLP is an honest administration?
Ha ha ha ha ha.
