Cayman islands, no VAT, no income tax and almost no debt:

"Moody's expect Cayman's government debt will reach 9% of GDP in 2022"

In other words the problem in the Bahamas is with government spending and tax collection, adding more taxes as we have seen with VAT will just make the matter worse

Proguing says...

Not true, there are many nations with low government debt, Russia, Chile and Switzerland for example

And of course the model country that we should follow:

"Moody's expect Cayman's government debt will reach 9% of GDP in 2022"

Sir, you are correct, Caymans is the model for the Bahamas to follow, not some countries that are far worst than us...

Proguing says...

I remember the good old days when there was no VAT and the national debt was below 50% to GDP. But then our politicians declared that we needed to pay back our debt and introduced VAT. Oh the irony!

Well it did not take them long to demonstrate that they are no better than Minnis to lead the country...
