This is a really stupid and ignorant comment. Do you read other Tribune articles:
"Insight: It’S 10 O’Clock On Friday Night And On Paradise Island The Party’S Going Strong"
"There we entered an open space filled with picnic tables occupied to capacity with men and women mostly in their mid-thirties. In the spaces between the picnic tables others were gyrating to the sounds of extremely loud, soca music coming from the DJ’s set complete with loud speakers. The crowd was definitely shoulder to shoulder – standing room only – and being hyped by the mic-friendly DJ.
There was also a covered area with a large bar and other tables where all seats were taken and the over flow patrons stood in between. As we meandered through the tables and at least two hundred patrons, the smell of high grade marijuana permeated the air. We saw a few patrons enjoying marijuana joints out in the open while engaging in conversations with their peers.
The place was definitely “jumping” and only three patrons wore masks; one of them being me. "
The FNM will lose the coming elections they are so eager to call because they increased VAT. You increase taxes, you lose the next election, it's as simple as that.
Can I claim 50% return on my property taxes already paid? Or are we only rewarding delinquent taxpayers? Won’t this make compliance with paying taxes even worse, as more as people will now be waiting for tax amnesties to pay their taxes?
So, we know an election is coming with all these giveaways, which will be followed by a sharp increase in taxes. Does this make any sense?
And why have an election in the middle of a pandemic? Why not wait next year when everyone will have been vaccinated? How many Bahamians will catch Covid at campaign rallies and during the voting process?
Over one third of the total workforce are public sector employees in the Bahamas, vs 10% for Bermuda,13% in the Dominican Republic and 22% for Barbados. How did we get to such a high level?
