My god this guy is now writing his left wing drivel on a daily basis here.
Stop comparing the Bahamas to develop countries, the Bahamas is not Sweden or Switzerland.. And taking our neighbors as example, the one that have adopted income taxes (like Haiti, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago) are doing worse than us, and those that have no income tax (Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Turks and Caicos) are doing equally or better than us. Sorry Mr. Socialist, but I would rather be in the latter group than the former group.
As Margaret Thatcher said “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”

Unfortunately this is the reality. Drive anywhere on this island and you will see:
a liquor store
a church
a number's joint
None of these seem "essential" expenses to me.
